There is a way to move a group of lines with the K3 Memory Editor grid. You can use this to insert a blank line (as well as more involved moving).
Select (at the left margin) the line you want to empty and the lines below. Press CTRL-X to "cut" the selected lines. "Cut" copies to the clipboard and deletes. Select the desired target line, and then press CTRL+V to "paste" the clipboard contents into the target line (and its successors, using the length of the clipboard). This is what I meant by "Cut, copy and paste operate on selected rows" under the Edit Menu topic in the admittedly sparse K3 Frequency Memory Editor Help page. You can use the keyboard cut & paste shortcuts CTRL+X and CTRL+V, or right click the selected rows for a context menu that includes cut and paste, and there are cut/copy/paste items on the Edit menu at the top of the dialog. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: Bob Jeter [mailto:bobje...@verizon.net] Sent: Monday, September 03, 2012 9:33 AM To: Dick Dievendorff Subject: Re: K3 Memory Editor and EXCEL Spreadsheet Thanks Dick, You are right abt the tags and it was driving me nuts! I'll try the Notepad It would be nice if you could provide an "insert line" command, then I wouldn't need the editor Thanks again and 73, Bob K3RSJ On Sep 3, 2012, at 12:13 PM, Dick Dievendorff wrote: > Excel seems to create its own tags, which differ from the tags it > read.
