RESULTS TAB
This tab is used to display the key parts of an address record found by Postcode. It can be selected by clicking the tab - or use the [Alt]+2 keyboard shortcut.

Although AFD Postcode does not contain Organisation or Property data, fields are provided so that you may type these parts of addresses in manually if you wish - before inserting an address into other applications.
Use the Edit menu "Editable Results" option if you wish to be able to change the other address data on the Results Tab before inserting it into other applications. This menu setting is stored with the current settings file. If "Editable Results" is not checked, you cannot type into the Results Tab and any attempt to do so will cause Postcode to switch to the Search Tab ready for you to type a Search Request.
The county field displayed can be altered using the options on the Edit Menu. See Appendix F for more information regarding county options.
The fields containing non-address information (STD Code, Grid East and North, Mailsort and Latitude and Longitude) above can be customized to display any fields from the More Tab that you may wish to display. This allows you to easily view the information that you are interested in alongside the address. Simple click the down arrow to the right of the field name and you will be given a list of fields to choose from. For full details of each field, refer to the More Tab documentation.
Field-Transfer
To transfer any address field from the Results
Tab to the equivalent field on the Search Tab, simply, click the
descriptive label to its left - eg to transfer a 'Street' , click
the letters of the word 'Street'.
You can drag text from the individual fields of the Results Tab and drop it into other Windows programs - like Microsoft Word.
Hold down one of the [Shift] keys (usually marked with a hollow arrow pointing upwards). Then click and hold down the left mouse button on the field you wish to move (drag) text FROM - the cursor will turn into a dragging icon. Now move to the program you wish to place the text in (keeping the mouse button down). Finally, release the mouse button to drop the text in the new field.
