Re: copying and pasting texts from pdf to code set

Hello Christine,

I'm not sure if I understand your question.

If you mean how do you cut and paste in EPPI-Reviewer, you need to user the keyboard controls. Ctrl-C for copy, Ctrl-X for cut and Ctrl-V for paste. Using those controls you can select and copy information from a pdf and paste it into the Info box next to the code in your codeset. You need to be sure your code has a codetype of 'selectable' so the info box will appear.

If you mean how do you use the line-by-line pdf coding functions (i.e. assigning codes to selected areas of text) I would recommend watching the video 'Line-by-Line pdf coding in EPPI-Reviewer 4' that you can find on our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/eppireviewer4).

If this isn't what you are asking please let me know.

Best regards,

Jeff
