Delete and Blank Records in Tables

Complete records can be inserted, deleted (with renumbering of subsequent records) or blanked (without renumbering).

To delete a selected record(s), use “Edit | Delete” (Del) menu command or the Delete key. The action of the delete key will depend on the type of table. In tables in which no blank records are permitted, deleted records are removed and the table is closed up. In tables in which blank records are permitted, delete will clear or blank the selected records leaving subsequent records unchanged. If all the selected records are already blank, the records are deleted to result in subsequent records being renumbered.

To insert a blank record(s) above the currently selected cell or record, use the “Edit | Insert” (Ins) menu command. This inserts a record at a time and causes subsequent records to be renumbered.
