It *is* possible to copy blocks of text right or left in TEMPUS.
However, you need version 2.0, not some of the older 1.x. It is a
new feature. I don't recall the command now, look at the documentation.
BTW: Tempus 2.0 is great. For example: What do you think about
a character conversion table which allows you to change any (or all)
of the 256 possible different chars into any other one in the whole text
at once? (O.K., it needs a second for a *big* file.)
The newest version of Tempus as I know is 2.05 (contains some bug fixes).

Someone asked for infos about Tempus-Word:
I saw an article stating the following (please excuse poor translation):
Some features: looks like Tempus, has password locking, full keyboard
control, proportional fonts with block formatting (I can't explain it
better), footnotes, layout definitions for paragraphs, pages, etc.,
graphic inclusions, background printing, calculations within the text,
and much more. Tempus-Word comes into regions of simple DTP. Quality
of printing may be choosen between draft and high quality graphic like
that SIGNUM uses. It is still fast and configurable for own needs.
Includes a font editor.
Price: DM 648,- (i.e. around $ 350 currently).
Availability: End of the year.
