Edit Menu

The Edit menu includes commands related to editing properties.

Undo (Ctl+Z)

Reverses the last change to a text property.

Cut (Ctl+X)

Copies the selected text into the clipboard and deletes it from the current property.

Copy (Ctl+C)

Copies the selected text into the clipboard. If the current user interface control is a pull-down menu, Second Site will copy the selected item text.

Paste (Ctl+V)

Pastes text from the clipboard into the current text property at the insertion point.

Copy / Paste User Items

You can use the Copy and Paste commands to copy User Items from one SDF file to another. Select an item in the User Items list and use the Copy command to place it on the clipboard. If necessary, switch to another SDF file and open the User Items section. Select an existing item and then use the Paste command to insert a copy of the original User Item as a peer of the currently selected item.

Second Site will ignore attempts to Paste User Items that were copied to the clipboard from a different version of Second Site.

For VCF charts, if you copy/paste the User Item from one SDF file to another, you also have to copy the JPG file that Second Site creates when it imports a VCF chart. Second Site stores the JPG file in the Input (-i) folder. The name of the JPG file is shown in the bottom panel of the Edit VCF Chart window. If the target SDF file uses a different TMG project than the source SDF file, people in the chart must have the same TMG ID numbers in the two projects or the person page links will not work properly.

Restore Default Value (Ctl+R)

For property value controls, resets the value of the property to the default value.

Open Editor... (F7)

Opens an editor for the currently selected property or item.

• For text properties that may contain HTML formatting elements, opens the HTML Editor.
• For text properties that should should contain a color value, opens the Color Picker.
• For text properties that should should contain plain text, opens the Text Editor.
• For User Items, opens the appropriate User Item edit window.

You can use the File > Set Default Editor... command to modify which editor opens for text fields that may contain HTML. The default behavior is described above.

Open Alternate Editor... (Shift-F7)

Opens the alternate editor for an item that has more than one editor. For text properties that normally open in the HTML Editor, using the Open Alternate Editor command will open the item in the Text Editor.
