Editing a Field

You can display an Editor window to view, enter or update the entire contents of a text field. The Editor window is especially useful for editing scrollable text fields. A scrollable text field is a field in which the actual width is greater than the display width, but you can review the contents by scrolling through the field.

Select [Edit] ® [Edit Field] from the menu.

The sharp pencil icon is the Edit Field icon.

You can enter a new value or edit the existing value in the Editor window. If the current field is a display-only field, then the Editor window appears in display-only mode.

You can also use the Editor window to search for a phrase and replace it with another phrase. Click Search in the Editor window to display a Search/Replace window. Then, enter a value in the Search For field, and enter the other value in the Replace With field. Click Search to search for the value, or click Replace or Replace All to search for the value and replace the first occurrence or all occurrences with your new value, respectively.

Once you are satisfied with the value in the Editor window, click OK to close the window and insert the value into the field.
