When you move the cursor into the Browser window, it turns into an I beam. This indicates that you are ready to perform data editing functions.

To add or edit text in a Browser:

  1. Position the cursor at the point where you want to enter or delete text in a cell.
  2. Click on the location and type or delete the desired text. The text displays at the flashing cursor as you type.
  3. Press Tab to move to the next editable cell in the row. When you reach the end of the row, it moves to the first column of the next row.
  4. On the HOME tab, in the File group, click Save Table to save your changes.

MapInfo Pro recognizes carriage return characters in your data and displays text over multiple lines.
