>>It had one feature that I haven't been able to find in more modern products. With (I think) Ctrl-K-I you were able to cut and paste rectangular blocks (the part denoted with caps in my example). It was very useful for me in editting SDF type text files. If anybody knows how to do this in Word (or the VFP editor) I'd appreciate the tip.

>In MS-Word: press Ctrl-Shift-F8. Now, use the arrow keys to draw your rectangle. Unlike the solution by Gunnar Phillipp, which requires more manual work, this works even in older versions of Word.
