Edit Menu Help
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Commands or menu items on the Edit menu manipulate cells and ranges
of the Worksheet including naming of ranges and changing range names.
Many of the menu items save to the Clipboard in order to move
information onto another part of the Worksheet or to a different
Worksheet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cut
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Removes data, formulas, and their format from a location on the
worksheet and saves the information to the Clipboard.
Cut can also be executed by: Right Amiga Key with X
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Saves data, formulas, and their format from the worksheet to the
Clipboard and leaves the current location unchanged.
Copy can also be executed by: Right Amiga Key with C
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ext.Copy
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Saves a selected range of cells to the System Clipboard to paste
into other programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Paste
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is used to paste the contents of the Clipboard to a new
location on the worksheet. The same Clipboard contents can be
repeatedly pasted multiple times.
Paste can also be executed by: Right Amiga Key with P
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ext.Paste
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Pastes data from the System Clipboard beginning with the Active Cell.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Paste Data
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Paste data works like Paste except that it transfers only the data
portion of the source range and not its format. If the source
range contains a formula, the value of the formula will be pasted at
the destination, but the formula will not. You can use this to include
the result of a sum as data in another range.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Clear
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Removes data, formulas, and their format but does not save them to
the Clipboard. When this is activated, you will be provided with
a Requester asking "Are you sure?". This will give you an opportunity
to change your mind before erasing the Cell Contents.
Clear can also be executed by: Right Amiga Key with B
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Clear Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Works the same as Clear except that it doesn't remove the format
from the selected Range. You will be provided with a Requester
asking "Are you sure?". This will give you an opportunity to change
your mind before erasing the Cell Contents.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Define Name
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Used to name a selected Range of Cells. The Name Selector will be
displayed. In the Name display you can type in a Range Name up to 16
characters. Range Names with leading spaces will not be accepted.
Embedded blanks in Range Names will be "squeezed out". If you have
need to see the list of currently used names, select the Paste Name
Menu Item.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Modify Name
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Used to change the Range of a Named Range of Cells.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete Name
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Used to remove a Named Range from the Name Selector Requester window.
A Requester will be displayed to confirm the deletion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Paste Function
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Displays the Function Selector Requester to select a Built-in
function for insertion into a Formula. This can also be exercised
via a Formula Button.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Paste Name
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Displays the Name Selector Requester from which you can choose one
of the names you have created using Define Name. As with the Paste
function, when you press the OK button or the RETURN key, the name
of the function and two parentheses are entered, just as if you had
typed them in yourself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Paste Font
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Brings up a File Requester linked to the Font directory. Selecting
one of the font names in the requester will then display the font
name in the active cell. The purpose is to ease the creating of
Word and Gantt charts, containing different fonts.
