An unformatted record is a record that belongs to a data file that does not have a structure file applied to it, and therefore is not using a layout.
In the
Data File Tools window, ensure you have an unformatted data file open.
Select the required record to edit, then click
(Edit Record).
The record text in the bottom pane becomes editable.
Edit the text in the bottom pane, then click
(Save Record).
Tip: When editing records and fields, you can edit in Overwrite or Insert mode, which works much the same as it does on any conventional word processing package. Click
Ins to toggle between the modes; the current mode (INS or
OVR) is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
The record is updated, and the data file is saved automatically.
(Edit Record).
(Save Record).
