Not really... today it's headings, tomorrow it's field names, etc.

Would table-driving the headings resolve the issue?

I actually need to paste-overlay a block of text. This works when it's copied from within the LPEX editor using ALT-R, but will not work from a text editor.
I transposed my column headers into a single column in Excel, pasted that into Notepad++. Tried to copy and paste-overlay in the source editor (ALT-Z)... could not get that to work
So I pasted with CTRL-V at the bottom of my source, pressed CTRL-F5 to clear the messages, copied it again with ALT-R and paste-overlay with ALT-Z. Whew! Surely there's a better way.

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.
