SEEDS Copy/Paste Recommendations

Copy/paste is a time saving tool which many users take advantage of. When data is copied, it brings with it coding that is happening in the background. Sometimes this coding can interfere with editing features in text areas in SEEDS.

In order to prevent issues such as tiny print when pasting text, paste as plain text (Ctrl Shift V). Pasting as plain text removes the coding that comes with copied text, and allows you to edit the data with the tools available in SEEDS. Pasting as plain text will also remove tables, bullets, bold, underlining and other editing features the copied data might have had.

If a table is copied/pasted into SEEDS, it may be necessary to update the table properties. Right click on the table and select "Table Properties." Adjust the width to 75%.

 Some forms are not copyable.

If the user exits the program, while in a form, without returning to the Student Detail View, the form will be locked by that user. Click here for more information on form locking.

When an event is created, a "snapshot" of the Student Detail View is taken and that information prefills on the forms in that event. To update the student's name, address, phone, and parent/guardian information - click on the "Update Info" link next to the Create Form button or the check box at the bottom of the student detail view page you being updated.

The database would not know which user's data would override the other user's data.

Tiny font can be caused for various reasons. If the data was copied from another source and pasted in, it could have formatting which needs to be removed. If data is copied, use Paste as Plain Text (Ctrl Shift V) to paste it into a SEEDS textbox. 

A table that is too wide can also cause the font to be tiny. Click on the table, then right click and select table properties. Set the table width to be less than 75%. 

A row of dashes or underscores will also cause formatting issues. Replace the dashes and underscores and replace them by clicking the Horizontal Line icon.
