Duplicating, deleting, and moving records
When records are similar, you can save time and prevent data entry errors by
duplicating records. Once you duplicate a record, you can change only the
values that are different in the new record, and avoid retyping identical
information.
You can also copy and paste a record to duplicate it, or delete one or more
records at a time.
Moving through records
Use the record book to move or browse through records. Start by choosing
Browse or List from the Layout menu.
To Select the record to duplicate, delete, or move, and then
Duplicate a record Choose Duplicate Record from the Edit menu. AppleWorks adds
a copy of the record to the end of the database and places the
insertion point in the first field, ready for you to enter data.
Copy and paste a record into
another document,
application, or database Click on the Default button bar, or choose Copy from the
Edit menu. Then click or choose Paste. If you’re pasting the
record into an AppleWorks database, the copy is added to the
end of the database.
Delete a record Choose Delete Record from the Edit menu. If you change your
mind, before you do anything else, click
on the Default
button bar, or choose Undo from the Edit menu to restore the
record.
Temporarily delete a record
that you want to move or
paste back in later Click on the Default button bar, or choose Cut from the Edit
menu. Keep in mind that if any other records or text are copied
or cut in the meantime, the record is lost.
