I'm learning something new with TB... and especially the Editor, every single day. :o) Allie BTW, did you all notice as well that the block type selection may be Allie done by left-clicking in the status bar where the block type is displayed. Allie Each click toggles the block selection. :) I suppose its not in the help file??

Re[2]: Block selection types (was: Auto-indent)
Make sense? NA Not really Tom... we may be talking about different things NA here... Heh, oops. What I'm talking about is what you get when you right-click in a composition window, and hit "Block Type". NA not sure? What I'm referring to is the preferences accessed NA through the main toolbar: NA Options/Editor Preferences/General NA On the top right hand side, this is what _I_ see: NABlocks NA- Persistent blocks NA- Overwrite blocks NAPasting different block types NA- skip prompt NA- adjust automatically Ok, again I haven't tried any of these but I assume the Blocks selection is a radio button (exactly one of them always selected). What that typically means is: Persistent blocks: Cursor is free to move around regardless of the block selection (which is likely something that you're not used to, esp. if you've never heard of it ;). You can type and whatever, and the block stays selected and unchanging. Overwrite blocks I would assume are the same as Windows "typical" behaviour. Now for pasting different types, haven't tried that either, but I assume again that it has to do with the stuff I mentioned in the previous message; that if you mark something in column mode, copy it to the clipboard, and then change the block type, this determines what will happen when you go to paste it. Does The Bat! change into the old mode, or does it paste without asking, or ... ??? -tom! -- Hopin' this said *something* useful, [EMAIL PROTECTED] out. -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --
