Editing a Spell Description (id=300)
Editing a Spell Description

To edit the description, you click 'Copy Description' to copy the description to the Windows clipboard.  Then, using your favorite text editor, such as NotePad, you Edit|Paste the text, edit the description, highlight the description, and then Edit|Copy it back to the clipboard.  Finally, in SpellEdit, you click 'Paste Description' to insert the new description into the current spell.

P.S.  This is a kludge until I get a real editor (notice the viewer) working.  Sorry!
