FIND / FILL / INCREMENT

“Edit > Find” − searches for a text string in all open tables.

“Edit > Fill” − this is a copy/paste function for use with tables containing repetitive material. Select the row or column with the
desired text and then “Edit > Fill Right” or “Edit > Fill Down” to paste the information.

“Edit > Increment” function − similar to “Edit > Fill” except that incrementing numbers are automatically created in columns
to the right or rows below as desired. For example, on the Switcher Input table you could enter “IN 1” in the top left field, then
select the desired fields (the whole column in this example) and “Edit > Increment Down.” This will fill the rest of the column
with “IN 2,” “IN 3,” etc. to the bottom of the table. It is also possible to mix categories (prefixes) within a column and still
automate the process. For example, “VTR 1” could be entered in the top left field, the following 10 rows selected and “Edit >
Increment Down” applied; this would produce 10 rows labelled VTR 1 through “VTR 10.” “CAM 1” could then be entered in
the Name field on row 11, additional rows selected, “Edit > Increment Down” applied, etc.

COPYING AND PASTING A BLOCK

S To copy a block, drag−select the block of the source fields (the fields selected must form a single rectangle).
