Description
This script step displays the index for the active field. You can use Insert From Index in Browse or
Find modes.
FileMaker Pro displays the View Index dialog box so the user can select an entry. This method
promotes consistent data entry and correct spelling. For this script step, you can specify a field and
select the entire contents of the field.
FileMaker Pro uses what was last selected for the Show individual words option in the View Index
dialog box (it is not remembered in the script).
