Operator’s Overview of the Text Library
You will find the editor language entries created in the project listed in clear table form in the Text Library. Each language entry is provided with an ID which is its unique reference in the WinCC database.
The following sections give you an overview of the most important options for operating the “Text Library” editor. Some menu commands can be executed via the shortcut menu or via shortcuts.
| Note Inputs or changes are automatically saved to the WinCC database when you exit from a field. |

| Unintentional deletion of text The “Delete” function deletes a selected area without prior warning in the “Text Library > ‘Texts’ tab”. If you do not undo the deletion with the “Edit > Undo” menu command before closing the editor, these texts are irretrievably lost. Unintentional overwriting of existing texts during copying As in MS Excel, existing texts are overwritten when pasting copied cells in a selected area. If you do not undo the deletion with the “Edit > Undo” menu command before closing the editor, these texts are irretrievably lost. Pay close attention into which cells you are copying which text. |
