About pasting

Enterprise Manager supports four options, listed in the Global User Preferences properties page of the Enterprise Manager root node, for pasting a document. To set an option as the default paste option, see Set Enterprise Manager user preferences. To perform the default paste action, select Paste directly from the pop-up menu. To perform a non-default paste action, copy a document, right-click a folder, and then select All Tasks and choose a paste action.

Paste Reference

In the Enterprise Manager global preferences, the paste action is "When using copy-paste, paste document reference only?"

A new reference to the document you copied is created; The action does not create a document. Copied documents with a reservation status retain that status when they are checked out. If you paste into a different folder, the Containment Name remains the same. If you paste into the same folder, the words "Reference of..." precede the Containment Name, with an appended number, if necessary, to ensure a unique name.

Paste All Versions

In the Enterprise Manager global preferences, the paste action is "When using copy-paste, paste all document versions?"

A new document containing the document versions you copied is created. If the copied document is checked out with a reservation status, pasting checks in the reservation version as a minor version, changing the reservation version to an in-process minor version.

NOTE  If the storage policy of the original document was changed from the default for its class, the storage policy of the pasted document is changed back to the class default. For example, DocumentA is based on ClassB, which has FileStoreC as its default storage location. However, when it was created, the storage location for DocumentA changed to FileStoreD. If you copy and paste DocumentA using Paste All Versions or Paste Contained Versions, the new document CopyofDocumentA is stored in FileStoreC.

Paste Contained Version

In the Enterprise Manager global preferences, the paste action is "When using copy-paste, paste contained document version only?"

A new document is created containing only the released version of the document copied, if there is one. If there is no released version, the new document contains only the current minor version.

Paste Compound Document Links

In the Enterprise Manager global preferences, this paste action is "When using copy-paste, paste compound document links?"

This option creates a compound document. The compound document links are copied and pasted along with the parent document itself. These links point to the same child document as the original compound document parent. Enterprise Manager enables this option by default.
