Moving and Copying Data

As in any Office application, you can use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands to copy and move data in your table fields. This is particularly useful if you want to quickly copy a ZIP code that is the same for more than one customer, or you want to cut data that you put in the wrong field, so that you can paste it into the appropriate field. To use copy, cut, and paste, follow these steps:

1. Select the entire field or the portion of a field's content that you want to cut or copy.

2. Select Edit , and then Cut (to move) or Copy (to copy). Or press Ctrl+X to cut or Ctrl+C to copy.

3. Position the insertion point where you want to insert the cut or copied material.

4. Select Edit, Paste, or press Ctrl+V to paste.

Toolbar Shortcuts You can also use the Cut, Copy, and Paste buttons on the Table Datasheet toolbar to manipulate text in the table fields.
