All text-format data appearing in the Presentation Interface appears in a Data Grid. The Data Grid can appear as:

  • A single data entry field (a single cell grid)
  • A column of data entry fields
  • A row of data entry fields
  • A table ("grid") of data entry fields

Editing a Data Grid Field

1. Make the field current and enter field 'edit mode' by:

  • Right mouse click inside the field box (a grey border will appear around the cell)
  • Use the Arrow (Up, Down, Left and Right) keys to move to the required field and pressing the <SPACE> bar

2. Type the text you want to enter - this will replace all text currently in the field
