This is one of the features I love when editing DNS zone files.
I've tried to that some time ago, because i though that should work the
way you described it. But it didn't and still doesn't work on my vim, so
i'm quite surprised by your tip :-)
But as it doesn't work: do you have to enable some setting to use that
feature?
I'm using vim version 7.0 on Debian "Lenny".

Which part doesn't work, I presume you can select a block of text with
Ctrl-V, I'm just interested as I also find this a very useful feature,
but it works for me :-). You also must press I, not i. Just noticed that
one thing Christoph didn't write is that you have to press Escape to
leave insert mode at the end of the process, has that helped?
