Delete: Delete a Snippet by selecting it and then pressing the Delete button in the Snippet tool or by pressing the delete key.
Replace: You can replace the contents of the current snippet by selecting the region of the worksheet that you would like to use as the contents of the new snippet.
Organizing Snippet: Snippets are organized in a folder structure. They can be organized into folders using drag and drop or cut/copy/paste within the Snippet tool.
Sharing Snippets
Snippets are stored in the Jet Reports Snippets folder located in your My Documents directory. The location can be changed in the Application Settings.
The snippets can be shared by copying the snippet files from one user’s snippet directory to another’s.
Close and open the Snippets window and the newly added snippets will become available.
