couple of IDE questions

[Rob Cozens]

Hi Alex,

>1) I have two groups with no controls, no scripts. Rev won't let me 
>delete them. According to the docs, selecting Clear Objects from the 
>edit menu should work. But often Clear Objects is not available in 
>the edit menu, and even when I it is available, it doesn't remove

Select the group in the Application Overview and click on the delete button.

>2) I am copy-pasting text from MS Excel into Rev. Sometimes if I 
>select more than one cell in Excel, what get's pasted into Rev 
>doesn't go into a Field text box, it gets written into the 
>background image group. Seems to draw the text right into the image 
>itself (a .jpg). How can I prevent that from happening?

Have Excel output the text to a delimited file and write a handler 
that reads the file and imports the text where you want it.
