Moving and Copying Cash Flow Lines

The Cut, Copy, and Paste buttons in the Clipboard group on the Home ribbon can be used with cash flow lines. To copy cash flows or text while leaving the original intact, use the Copy and Paste commands. The Paste command places the contents of the Clipboard onto the active schedule. If a cash flow is selected when Paste is chosen, the contents of the Clipboard will replace the selected cash flow line.
