Introduction
Text blocks are standard blocks of text that are used regularly and need to be stored within the application so that they can readily be called up when needed. This application is for the creation and maintenance of text blocks. Text blocks are defined entirely by the customer. They can be called up in other applications when in text fields, these text fields can be right clicked followed by the selection of "select text blocks" from the context menu. It is then possible to search for and select the appropriate text block and paste it into the current application.
