Saving Records Editing Data You may change data in most fields by typing over existing data and using the , , and cursor (< > and < >)keys. Press the key to switch from the default overwrite (typeover) mode to the insert mode: Use the insert mode when you wish to retain existing text by pushing it to the right as you type new text. Press again to return to the overwrite mode in which existing text is replaced with the text you type. Other special keys that are useful in editing include the following (but see "APPENDIX B" on page B-1 for a more complete list): : Moves the cursor to the beginning of a line in a field. : Moves the cursor to the end of a line in a field. or : Moves the cursor one word right or left in a multi-line field (hold down the key and press < > or < >). : Undo; restores the contents of the field to its value before entering the field. This is useful if you change your mind about editing changes before you leave the field; once you leave the field, undo is no longer effective. : Ditto field; inserts the contents of the field from the record you last viewed on screen. : Ditto record; inserts contents of all fields from the record you last viewed on screen (but see "The next Primary record" on page 7-3). : Clear line; clears one line in a data field. : Clear to end of line; clears from the cursor to the end of the line. : Delete record; deletes entire record. : User key; automatically inserts "user-defined" text which you initially enter by choosing "User Key" from the "Utilities" menu or by pressing while on a form. In memo fields (e.g. remarks), the user key appends text to the current contents. : Copy block; copies current field into the "user defined" text. Use to retrieve block. : Next form; rotates among available data editing forms. Useful when you have customized forms for various kinds of editing. : Loan records; shows name of person who has that lot out on loan. Press to accept any new text in a field and move to the next field.
