Working with information in records 4-13
Keep these points in mind:
1 You can also drag and drop information between fields, records,
and applications. See the next section, “Using drag and drop to
move information.”
1 When you paste data into a field formatted as radio buttons (option
buttons), checkboxes, or a pop-up (drop-down) list or menu, the
appropriate value is selected, replacing the entire contents of the
currently selected field. When you paste a value that’s not in the
field’s value list, the Other value is selected, if applicable.
1 When you copy a record, everything is copied except data in container
fields (including calculations with container results and global fields of
container type). Text fields are copied in tab-delimited format, without
styles, in the order they were created in the file.
Using drag and drop to move information
You can use drag and drop to transfer information to or from
FileMaker Pro and other applications that are drag-and-drop capable
without using the Clipboard.
You can use drag and drop in Browse mode, Layout mode, and Find
mode. In Layout mode, use drag and drop to transfer OLE objects,
graphics, or text. In Browse mode, use drag and drop to transfer text, or
the contents of a container field, to another field. You can use drag and
drop between FileMaker Pro and other applications. Each application
you’re using must support the type of data you’re transferring (for
example, you can’t transfer a graphic into a text field).
1. Be sure both applications are open and visible on the screen in
Browse, Layout, or Find mode.
