But there is a difference. With the function keys, you only have to be in the field, not necessary to have text selected. Also each function key can remember a different piece of information. Used in conjunction with the Memory Lists for Locations and Dates, I can see where these features would be of powerful benefit especially for those that want to do all from the keyboard and avoid the mouse.

Well, you live and learn! Thanks for that, Mike. I will now have to try and learn all those shortcuts! But what prompted that particular question was that when I asked if Ctrl+C etc was not just as useful, Gene mentioned having to have boilerplate text in another application. I still don't understand that part: just as the Function keys will (I now know) copy text from one Legacy field and paste it to another, so one can use Ctrl+C to copy text from one field and Ctrl + V to paste it to another. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
