* Some programs such as Excel support copy/paste into the Action Field of a Substitute Content Action but not drag'n drop of selected content.

 

* Edge and Internet Explorer Browsers do not support drag'n drop to create Substitute Content Actions. Use copy/paste into Substitute Content Action field from Edge.

 

** Drag'n drop of only linked text from a browser will create an Open Web Page Action.

 

** Formatted content from various programs may not be an exact match in the Substitute Content Action field as the source program may have "style" settings that cannot translate to formats supported by drag'n drop or copy/paste. In these cases, you can edit the contents of the Action field to get the desired format. Click here for more information.

 

** Content from Web pages with links, images, and multiple content may deliver different results depending on the Browser and the design of the content (what ends up in the Substitute Content Action field may not be what is seen on the source page). In these cases the Substitute Content Action field can be edited. Click here for more information.
