Special Copy Options

Accordance supports both the standard Edit menu items such as Copy and Paste, and the drag and drop feature. You can edit and paste text only in certain tabs or entry boxes. Bible texts and tools cannot be edited, but can be copied and exported.

To access special copy options, select the text to copy and do one of the following:
