Epi Info 3.5.3 Notes

Hello there me!

Currently  stuck using an old version of Epi Info... Thus, some things aren't exactly working properly or logically... I'll list stuff here to preserve my sanity...

*Copying: If you copy using hotkeys, Question prompts become multiline. If you copy by clicking the menus, the questions stay single line. The alignment screws a bit but it's tolerable.
*Copying: if the things you're trying to copy surpass a certain length, all the prompts become multiline... (Remediable by Cutting and Pasting back into the page)
**IT'S THE WIDTH  OF THE COPY BOX that's causing all the multilines... -_-
*Can't get it to read commands for Option Prompts correctly... Sticking to Number and rendering it binary...
*So that's what that means! If you double click something in the promt, it becomes the Label for that variable... -_- annoying
*Do not forget to fix the "Font for prompt" before the question appears in the view. Tampering with it afterwards causes the prompt to go multiline...

*The copy box only has to go through the input boxes and not the whole questions themselves.
*Cutting and pasting can remedy multilines. EXTREMELY HANDY!
*Cutting and pasting screws with the range though. It resets it to the highest number.
*Cutting a group and NOT pasting is an effective way to delete many items at the same time.
*Copying causes changes to field names (to prevent replicates). Cutting does not.
*There's no way to scroll through the pages on the upper right side. Use the Edit -> Go to Page for far pages. This is the only way (?) to change the upper right side pages too.
*There's no way to reorder pages. The best I've come up with is to cut a page's contents and paste it in a new page. Of course this screws with their ranges though...
*The field name sometimes screws with you and resets to using a no-space version of the prompt. This is an illusion. Right click something else before right-clicking what you want and the field name should go back to normal.
*Changing a page name sometimes throws some prompts into disorder. Sometimes...

*You can't reorder pages, but you can use "Insert Page". Inserts before the current page you are viewing.
