** Sheet View's Edit Menu Commands


Û  Edit menu

    The Edit menu contains data sheet
editing commands that let you cut, copy,
paste, delete and insert data in the
Sheet View windows.  If you make a
mistake, you can undo the most recent
change.

    All the data editing commands use
the Clipboard to interchange data.  The
Clipboard is the magic behind cutting and
pasting.  It is a special data storage
place that holds data that you have cut
or copied, so you can paste it elsewhere.


Û  Undo

    The Edit | Undo command restores the
data in the current data sheet to the way
it was before the most recent editing
event.


Û  Cut

    The Edit | Cut command removes the
selected data block from your data sheet
and places the data in the Clipboard.  The
removed data cells are filled with blank
cells.  You can paste that data into any
other data sheet or somewhere else in the
same data sheet by choosing the Edit | Paste
command.  The data remains in the Clipboard
so that you can paste the same data many
times.


Û  Copy

    The Edit | Copy command places the
selected data in the Clipboard and leaves
the selected data intact.  You can then
paste that data into any other data sheet
by choosing Edit | Paste command.


Û  Paste

    The Edit | Paste command puts data from
the Clipboard into the current data sheet
at the cursor position.  This action
depends on what you have in the Clipboard.
If the data in the Clipboard contains
columns (rows), then it will paste data in
columns starting at the column (row) which
contains the cursor cell; if the data in
the Clipboard contains only a block of data
cells, then the paste action will put the
data  to the sheet starting at the current
cursor cell.  The paste action overwrites
data in the data sheet.  It does not insert
data into the data sheet.  To insert data,
use the Edit | Insert command.
         

Û  Clear

    The Edit | Clear command removes the
selected data from the data sheet but does
not place it into the Clipboard.  The
removed data cells are filled with blank
cells.  This means that you can not paste
the data as you could if you had chosen Cut
or Copy commands.


Û  Delete

    The Edit | Delete command works like the
Edit | Clear command.  It removes the
selected data from the data sheet but does
not place it into the Clipboard.  This
command also shift the data sheet so that
there are no blank cells.


Û  Insert

  The Edit | Insert command inserts data
from the Clipboard into the data sheet
starting at the current cursor cell.
