Hello Robert, It is the Paste action on an XML document edited in Author mode. The idea is to enhance the normal Paste action to try to preserve the markup and styling as equivalent XML elements and attributes of the target document. It does not matter where the Paste action is invoked: Author editor, contextual menu of Outline view, the Ctrl-V shortcut. The same transformation of the copied content is executed on drag and drop with the mouse. As in the normal Paste action the cursor does not have to be in a specific element in Author mode. If the pasted content makes the document invalid there is a paste strategy dialog box that offers some options for the paste location like: - inside the closest X element to the right of the current position, - at current location as plain text, - at current location even if invalid.

First, I think that the smart paste from browsers/MS Word is potentially a great time-saver. I look forward to using it.
But I just don't understand how to use it or invoke it.
Namely:
1. Will you be in Author or Editor mode when you do it? 2. Are you using the right-click menu from the Outline window or from the main edit window? 3. Are you just using the paste option or is there some other way to do this? 4. Is there a certain element you must be inside when you perform the paste action (in docbook I mean).
