Data
One piece of data is sent for each selected feature that has that piece of data.
General guidelines
The column and row fields in the DDE Output screen control where data is placed. One piece of data, as
determined by the Data drop down list, is sent for each selected feature that has that piece of data.
If both fields have a number in them, then the first piece of data is written at that column/row location in
the target application, and each successive piece is added to the same column but in successive rows.
If the column field has a number, and the row field is blank, the system will try to find the first blank cell
in that column and put the first piece of data there. Each successive piece is added to the same column but
put in successive rows (even if those cells have data in them).
If the row field has a number, and the column field is blank, then the system will try to find the first blank
cell in that row and put the first piece of data there. Each successive piece is added to the same row but put
in successive columns (even of those cells have data in them).
If the column or row field has a greater than sign (>) followed by a number, the system will act as if the
field were blank beginning at the given cell number. So, all cells before that (which might contain other
blank cells in some kind of header) are ignored.
Single letters (A..Z) can be used in the Column or Row fields, and get resolved to a number 1..26 before
being used. More then one letter (e.g. AC) cannot be used.
