Copying a Paper You Have Already Written Into a New Document Formatted with Dr Paper

To copy a paper you have already written into the formatted document created with Dr Paper, you will need to create a blank formatted document with Dr Paper, and then copy the information from your paper to the formatted document. Then you'll need to reset the Styles. Here is what you do:

  1. Use Dr Paper to create a new document for your paper, with the title, your name as the author, etc.

  2. Save this document with a unique name (NOT the filename for your original paper!). Leave this new document open.

  3. Open the paper you have written. Highlight the BODY of the paper, and then click Edit, Copy.

  4. Close the document.

  5. Go back to the Dr Paper formatted document, and paste the text into the area AFTER the title of the paper (where it says "Start typing your paper here").

  6. Click File, Save, and save the newly created Dr Paper document with a NEW filename.

Once you have the text of the paper copied, you will need to reset the Styles using the builtin formatting Styles in the Dr Paper document. To do this:
  1. Click Format, Styles and Formatting.

  2. Highlight the text of the body of your paper, and then click on the Style called "Body".

  3. If you have quotations, highlight the text of the quotation, and click on the Style called "Quotation."

  4. If you have section headings, highlight the text of the section heading, and click on the appropriate Heading style.

Make sure you save the document again after you have set the Styles!
