Does anyone have a good way to import a text field automatically to
non-scrolling fields on separate cards?  I tried several different ways
and came up with an easy way where the text gets cut and pasted automatically
to fit the size of the card field.  Are there other ways?

Also, can anyone describe how to simulate an inactive button with gray text,
like inactive menu choices?  I have seen this somewhere before but can't
remember it.
