Copying Text Between Subtitles
You can copy text from one subtitle or other text source to a subtitle. Depending on
where you paste the text, you can even maintain the font and size of the copied text:
• To use the font and size information in addition to the text: Paste at the insertion point
in the Viewer tab. The text’s color and justification are not copied.
• To use only the text: Paste in the Subtitle Inspector’s text entry area. The text uses the
subtitle’s font and size settings.
