Cutting, Copying, and Pasting Style Property Values

In both the Stylesheet Editor and Formatting window pane, you can display properties in alphabetical view, as opposed to grouped view. When you are in alphabetical view, you can select multiple properties for a particular selector. Then you can cut/copy and paste these properties into another selector; they can also be pasted in the Stylesheet Editor or in a text-based editor, such as Notepad or the Internal Text Editor. Declarations can also be copied from a separate CSS document and into your stylesheet in Contributor.
