small addition regarding the fields to edit:

1st: you have to show only records from this table with a click on the 
[+] symbol next to the table name

2nd: you must show the fields to edit. as those fields may not be the 
title scroll below the records where you find a list of (nearly) all 
fields of the current table. select multiple with CTRL-Click, then show 
with a Ckick on the [Set fields]-Button.

3rd: using Clipboard 1-3 you may select a subset of the shown records to 
edit

4th: click on the edit-icon(pencil) next to the column-header to edit 
this field for all selected records


and another remark:
trying to edit an RTE-Feld for more than 20 records may slow down or 
even crash your browser, as the RTE for so much fields/records requires 
a lot of memory/time.
