Grid Editor | 284Refresh LayoutWhen using drag and drop to reorganize the document, the resulted layout may be different from the expected one. Forinstance, the layout may contain a set of sibling tables that could be joined together. To force the layout to be recomputedyou can use the Refresh action. The action is available in the Refresh selected contextual menu and in the Document> Grid Edit > Refresh selected menu.Start Editing a Cell ValueYou can simply press (Enter) after you have selected the grid cellStop Editing a Cell ValueYou stop editing a cell value when you press (Enter)To cancel the editing without saving the current changes in the document, you have to press the (Esc) key.Drag and Drop in the Grid EditorThe arrangement of the different sections in your XML document in the grid editor is made easy by the drag and dropfeatures.Using drag and drop you can:• Copy or move a set of nodes.• Change the order of columns in the tables.• Move the rows from the tables.These operations are available for single and multiple selection.Note that while dragging, the editor paints guide-lines showing locations where the nodes can be dropped.Nodes can also be dragged outside the grid editor and text from other applications can be dropped inside the grid. SeeCopy and Paste in the Grid Editor for details.Copy and Paste in the Grid EditorThe selection in the grid is a bit complex relative to the selection in a text component. It consists of a current selectedcell and additional selected cells. These additional cells are either hand picked by the user using the mouse, or are impliedby the current selected cell. To be more specific, let's consider you click the name of the column - this becomes thecurrent selected cell, but the editor automatically extends the selection so that it contains all the cells from that column.The current selected cell is painted with a color that is different from the rest of the selection.You can select discontinuous regions of nodes and place them in the clipboard using the copy action. Pasting these nodesrelative to the current selected cell may be done in two ways: just below (after) as a brother, which is the default behavior,or as the last child of the selected cell.The Paste as Child action is available in the contextual menu.The copied nodes from the grid can also be pasted into the text editor or other applications. When copying from gridinto the text editor or other text based applications the inserted string represents the nodes serialization. The nodes fromtables can be copied using HTML or RTF in table format. The resulting cells contain only the concatenated values ofthe text nodes.
