Cannot copy from Find and Replace result list

Unread post by VincentBevort »

Hi,

The Find and Replace result list offers an option to copy the result.
I need this to be able to copy the list as text to add it to a report for a name change

When I try to use this and paste it into notepad++ I get nothing.
The print button and the save button work as expected

Hi Vincent,

This is a slight misunderstanding: The copy tool doesn't copy the entire list. It will copy whatever you have selected in the list. It will copy the entire list if you select the entire list with the mouse first, but only then. (You can do that by clicking and then holding down the left mouse button and dragging down. If you drag beyond the bottom of the results window the list will scroll automatically.)

Thanks Tim,

Will give it a try

Maybe a minor improvement:
If nothing selected that select all
