Copying Graphs and Tables to the Clipboard

Using the Print Screen keyboard key

The easiest way to put screen information into the clipboard is to use the Print Screen keyboard key.
This puts all of the information that is displayed on the screen into the Clipboard. From the Clipboard
you can then paste the captured screen information into any application that accepts Clipboard graphics
such as Freelance Graphics or Windows Paintbrush.
This method of capturing information has two limitations:
ñWhen capturing graphs, the Print Screen keyboard key captures the entire screen. You cannot
capture just the graph by itself.
ñWhen capturing table data, not all of the data in the table is displayed on screen at the same time.
The information not shown is not captured. Also, you may want to capture table data in text
format and import the information into a spreadsheet. Print Screen only captures data in
graphical format.
Using the Copy commands located in the Edit menu overcomes both of these limitations.

Using the Copy Commands

Edit
Copy Table Selecting this command copies highlighted information from the table
to the Clipboard. You can use the mouse to select a specific column or
row to copy to the Clipboard. Click on the column or row headings to
do this. You can select the entire table by clicking on the blank
rectangle in the upper left-hand corner of the table.
Note that the information in the headings is not copied to the
Clipboard.
Copy Graph Selecting this command copies the presently accessed graph to the
Clipboard. All of the information in the graph as well and the X and Y
axis information is copied to the Clipboard.
Note: The Print Screen command located in the File menu does not copy screen information
to the clipboard. It prints the currently displayed screen graphics on the default printer.
