G'day from Perth, I just recently found out what to do with the Repeat button and as a 2 fingered typist it saves me heaps of time when inserting whole groups/large families that have common information.
However, I've discovered that sometimes it does not activate and I wonder if there are things or sequences that must immediately precede its usage. Alternatively, are there keystrokes/mouse click sequences that I should not do? A great feature of the repeat button is that it can operate for more than just the name and location fields. However, sometimes after inserting a date in the individual information screen I either tab or mouse click to the location field then click the repeat button it does not bring up the address I want but tabs itself to the next date field. I was previously using the field opening down arrow to the right of the Name and location which was a bit quicker than typing in existing location details. Any solutions folks? Secondly, I was using the above down arrow to find the "repeated" location information and sometimes it would give me the one I wanted but at other times it would present a previous location. How can I regularly get the (street, village, City, county etc) information that I've just selected for place of birth to also appear in the (say) christening , death and marriage fields? I wonder?
