Inserting Auto Copy Text Using Events

  1. Create a cell or double-click a cell to open the Edit Cell dialog.
  2. Click the Events tab.
  3. If applicable, click Show Expand to display a magnifying glass icon each time the User's cursor is placed over the cell.
  4. Click Add to create a new event.
  5. (Optional) Click Undoable to allow the event to be reversed using the Undo command on the Quick Access toolbar or pressing Ctrl+Z. Selecting this option will ensure that any text accidentally inserted can be easily removed.
  6. In the Action list, select Insert Section.
  7. In the Copy Section box, select the copy label pertaining to the auto copy text you want to insert.
  8. In the Insert in Section box, select the Section copy label pertaining to the document area you want to accept auto copy text.
  9. Click OK.

When the user clicks the cell, the auto copy text is automatically inserted into the section specified in the Insert in Section box.

Notes

  • Ensure that the Prompt option (on the Section Copy dialog tab) is in use for the section as it gives the User an opportunity to cancel the event before the auto copy text is inserted.
