There are many instances when you will wish to create or edit a member, director, share transaction entry etc. based on the contents of another member, director etc.  Rather than re-entering identical data you may use the "ditto" function to duplicate field information as follows:

Edit or create a record and save it.  Then, when you edit or create another record, if you hold down the control key and press the ' (single quotation mark) key whilst in an entry field, this will duplicate the contents of the same field from the previous record.
