Data can be copied from one data window (the source) and pasted into another data window (the destination):

1) If both source and destination files already exist, open them both. Or, if you want to copy part of a soundwave from an existing file and paste it into a new, empty file, open the existing file and create a new one. (See Lesson 2 for details.)

2) If the source's data window is not already the active window, bring it to the front by clicking on its title bar.

3) Select the segment of sound that you want to copy. Do this by dragging across the soundwave to highlight the segment.

4) Pull down the Edit menu, and select Copy.

5) Make the destination's data window active by clicking on its title bar.

6) If the destination file already contains digitized sound, then click with the mouse where you would like the copied sound to be inserted.

7) Pull down the Edit menu and select Paste. The pasted soundwave will appear in the destination data window.

If you press the Play button, you will hear your sound excerpt.
