If you select only one line at the insertion point, a message box asks if you want to replace
the selected line.
If you select more than one line at the insertion point, no message box opens. When you
select Edit > Paste, your Avid editing application replaces the selected lines with the text you
cut or copied in step 2. You cannot use the Undo command after performing this step.
5. Do one of the following:
t Click Replace to overwrite the selected line.
t Click Insert Before to insert the text above the selected line.
t Click Insert After to insert the text below the selected line.
The text is pasted into the script.
To remove lines of script:
1. Select the lines of script you want to delete.

Unlike a normal deletion, the text remains in the Windows Clipboard or Macintosh
Clipboard until the next time you copy or cut a selection.

You cannot delete lines of text from the Script window by using the Delete key as you would in a
normal word processor. Use the Cut command to remove the text.
Working with Page or Scene Numbers and Searching
in a Script
Script integration provides a number of search tools you can use during the preparation phase,
during editing, or during screenings. You can use page or scene numbers, or you can conduct a
full-text search.
When you add page and scene numbers to the Script window, you gain the ability to search for
them during preparation of the script and during editing. You can change a scene or page number
to correct any errors that occur when adding numbers, and to reposition scene and page
numbering to match script changes during postproduction.

You can use the Find Bin and Find Script buttons to match back and forth between script and
clips. For more information, see “Finding Clips and Script” on page 624.
