Figure 1.7: Data Input Dialog Box - Added Row
You can add more rows, as needed, by following the same procedure. You can insert rows between
existing rows by positioning the text cursor in a field in the top row, then clicking on the Add Row (or
Add Point) button. A vertical scroll bar appears in the table when the number of rows exceeds the
height of the dialog box.
You can delete a row by positioning the text cursor in any field within the row, and clicking on the
Delete Row (or Delete Point) button.
Entering/Editing Data in Text Fields
When a data dialog box first appears, one of the text fields is selected (black highlight), meaning that
the field is ready to accept and display data as you type. You can use the arrow keys to move the selec-
tion status to other text fields. Also, pressing the Tab key allows you to move the selection status to
the text field positioned to the right of the field that is currently selected.
When you start typing within a text field, the highlight is replaced by the characters that you type. You
can use the left and right arrow keys to position the text cursor anywhere within the field should you
need to replace or delete characters in that field.
To edit data, you must first select the text field either by clicking on the field, or using the arrow keys
to move the selection status to the particular field.
To copy/paste data, select the text fields whose data you want to copy, use Ctrl-c to copy the data to
the clipboard, select the empty destination text fields, then paste the data into these fields using Ctrl-
v. You select multiple adjacent text fields either by dragging the mouse from the first field to the last
field, or by clicking on the first field, holding down the Shift key, then clicking on the last field. For se-
lecting multiple nonadjacent text fields, click on each field while you hold down the Ctrl key.
Action Buttons
- Add Temperature: Adds a new column of data entry fields to the right of the column where the text
cursor is currently positioned. If the button does not appear, the material item has no temperature
dependency. - Delete Temperature: Deletes the column of data entry fields where the text cursor is currently posi-
tioned. If the button does not appear, the material item has no temperature dependency. - Add Row (or Add Point): Adds a new row of data entry fields beneath the row where the text cursor
is currently positioned. If the button does not appear, the material item has no provision for adding
more data. - Delete Row (or Delete Point): Deletes the row of data entry fields where the text cursor is currently
positioned. If the button does not appear, the material item requires that all data entry fields must
be completed.
