Issue

How can I fill the remainder of the line with a special character after pasting in block mode?

  2. Select Edit from the Options menu:

  3. Select Customize.
  4. Enable the Fill field with option and choose either Nulls, Spaces or Underscores from the drop-down list.

Note: when this option is enabled, PASSPORT will begin pasting the data that is contained in the clipboard at the current cursor position, then fill the remainder of the line or field with the selected character.
