• Descriptions can include any character included on a
keyboard.
To use a description from a description file with codes simply type the
code associated with the desired description in any
Description field.
As soon as soon as the cursor moves out of the Description field, the
code is replaced with the corresponding description. For example, if
you typed
lo in a description field while using the description file
shown above, lo would be replaced with Lodgepole Pine once the
cursor was moved to another field.
You can combine a description with any other text, or combine two
descriptions by using an ampersand (
& ). For example, entering
Tall&do would result in a description of Tall Douglas Fir . Entering
b&oa would result in a description of Big Oak Tree . This method also
works when spaces are included with the & character. For example,
entering b&oa would have the same result as entering b & oa .
Note: Remember to check the This File Uses Codes checkbox when
opening a description file that contains codes, described next.
