<<I'll mention it, but they won't care...cos' as I said, if you create the
form properly it shouldn't need copy/pasting.>>
Forget copy/pasting within the form then. How bout if you've filled in a
form and now want to select a portion of something and copy it and paste it
into something else? Or, how bout if you've filled in a form and now decide
you want to switch some of the text around cuz you wrote a sentence badly?
How bout if you filled in a form and when you got to the end, you realized
they were answering a question that you already partially answered and you
want to go back and just remove that portion from the first field where you
put it?
I don't believe this issue has anything to do with a form being created
properly. I'm not disputing your opinion that THIS form is created
badly....that's your opinion and you are entitled to it. But, I certainly
can think of MANY instances where someone might want to select just a
portion of the text in a field AFTER they've filled in a form...and, as it
works now, this can't be done...not if this field is within a table.
And, like I said, even after I unchecked that thing in the compatibility
section in Tools>Options, I still couldn't use the control double click to
do what you said, so I DO think it's something that Microsoft should listen
to.
Come on Dian...this isn't about copy/pasting in a badly made form. This is
about a feature that's stupid and I can't think of ANY reason why it should
be there. Unless you CAN give me a good reason why you shouldn't be allowed
to select a single letter or word within a text field in a table?
