Cutting, Copying and Pasting Rows  (Import Filters and Connection Files)

You may use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands to move or duplicate a cell or a row of cells. To do so:

  1. Select a row by dragging the mouse across both columns. (Dragging the mouse vertically across more than one row selects a range of rows.)

  2. To duplicate the selected row(s) elsewhere in a filter, select Copy (CtrlCommand Key+ C) from the Edit menu. If you want to delete the selected row and move it to another location, select Cut (CtrlCommand Key +X).

  3. Click where you would like the cut or copied row to appear, and select Paste ( CtrlCommand Key+V) from the Edit menu. The pasted row will be inserted above the row where the cursor is. If the cursor is in the Field(s) column, the pasted row will be inserted below. (Pasting when an entire row is selected will replace the row.)

Copying and Pasting Between Reference Type Templates

By choosing Select All ( CtrlCommand Key+A) from the Edit menu, you can select all of the rows in a given Reference Type template. This is useful for copying an entire template to a new reference type or filter. After copying the entire set of templates for a reference type, you may select a different reference type from the Reference Type list at the top of the window, click in the Tag cell for the new reference type, and select Paste.

When you copy information from one reference type (such as Journal Article), and paste the rows into another reference type (such as Newspaper), the field names automatically change to reflect the names used by the new reference type. If there is not a corresponding field name in the new reference type, the original field name in the template is replaced with {IGNORE}, indicating that the data for that tag will be ignored.
