Each option defines conditions under which the text
from the record you copied is pasted into the
record(s) you selected. The options are as follows:
•Paste After
The copied text is added to the end of the
field in each selected record, whether the
field is empty or not. Remember that you
may need to type a space before the word or
phrase you want to add.
•Paste Before
The copied text is added to the beginning of
the field in each selected record, whether
the field is empty or not. Remember that
you may need to type a space at the end of
the word or phrase you want to insert.
• Paste Into
The text appears only in fields that were
empty. Existing data is unchanged.
•Paste Non-empty
Fields from the record you copied replace
the corresponding fields in the selected
record(s) only if the copied fields actually
contain information. Empty fields inthe
copied record do not overwrite existing
data in the selected record(s).
• Paste Over
The current data in the fields for each
selected record is erased, and the text from
the record you copied appears in its place.
When you choose any of the Paste options from the Scripts
menu, the data from the record you copied is added to all
selected records based on the condition you identified.
