Re: Any change to RDI settings to edit **FREE totally free

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vicki - have you turned off column-sensitive editing? When it is on, 
inserts apply only within the fixed-format columns - as described here 
in the help -


Enabling columnsensitiveediting will limit insertion and deletion to the 
columns specified for the language.


I don't know the effect in free-form - and I find that sometimes things 
seem to work like column-sensitive editing is on, anyhow, or in some 
other unrepeatable way.


I have turned this off and manage things with turning Insert on or off, 
generally speaking.


Go to Window->Preferences->Remote Systems->Remote Systems LPEX Editor 
and click on "Column sensitive editing" checkbox.

I was only verifying the PTF that was installed as I was caught off-guard when TR11 was installed I thought we would automatically get the new option.  I didn't realize it needed a separate PTF.  So we are going through another PTF install cycle and this one has been included.
