set showpastewindow= { on | off}

The command determines whether the Invalid Paste Structure dialog box opens when a copy and paste operation from another application to Arbortext Editor fails due to context errors in the converted XML markup. The default is on, meaning that if the markup you are trying to paste is not valid at the paste location, the Invalid Paste Structure dialog box opens. This dialog box enables you to view the markup that Arbortext Editor is trying to paste into the document. The dialog also enables you to copy and paste all or part of that markup into your document.

The Invalid Paste Structure dialog box has a Do not show this window when paste results are invalid check box. When this check box is selected, the showpastewindow preference is set to off and the dialog box no longer appears when pasting converted XML markup would result in context errors. In this case, a message appears on the status bar saying that the paste operation would result in a context error.
