For example, you could copy the address from an existing record to a new record. | TIP Using a Data-Entry Shortcut If a field in a new record requires the same value as the entry in the row preceding it (for example, both records should contain Indianapolis in the City field), click in the field then press Ctrl+' . The entry will be duplicated in the new record, using the value from the row above it. | -
