Re: [WDSCI-L] Next release - Paste Overlay

OK... pulled this thread out again. Does anyone know how to get
this to work with something copied from a text editor (or excel)??

I have a long list of column headers that I would like to paste into
my source code (writing column headers). These options don't seem
to work when the copied content comes from another source. Or do I
have to go back to SEU again and do a few rows at a time?

The block copy functions are definitely RDi specific. If you're copying
from another source and you want to replace something in RDi, highlight
the target and simply press Ctrl+V. Copying data straight into RDi, would
simply mean positioning where you want it and pressing Ctrl+V. That said,
I've not had very good luck coming from a spreadsheet as the columns are
usually way too wide after pasting. Data from other basic sources
(especially text editors) seems to paste fine.
