The Edit menu provides standard clipboard functions (for example, cut, copy, paste, and so on) in addition to XPAC-specific menu options. The table below describes the XPAC-specific options available from the Edit menu:

Note

The options that display depend on the function that you are currently viewing, or the mode that you are in. For example, the Design Mode and Format Mode options only display if you are viewing a database, while Productive Activities always displays. Likewise, Field Type is only available if you are in Format Mode.
