You can transfer data between spreadsheets and edit windows via the Clipboard.
To transfer data from a spreadsheet
Make a selection on the spreadsheet. Click Edit on the menu bar and then click
Copy to copy the data onto the Clipboard. Move the mouse to the point where you
want the data inserted in the edit window and click the left mouse button.
Then use the Paste command on the Edit menu to copy the data from the Clipboard.
To transfer data from a window
Make a selection in the window and use Copy from the Edit menu to copy the data
onto the Clipboard. Move the mouse to the cell where you want to start inserting
the data in the spreadsheet. Click the left button to make this the
active cell. Then use Paste to copy the data from the Clipboard. If the data
being transferred includes text values you must ensure that the spreadsheet
columns are set to the appropriate type (text or factor). By default, the spreadsheet
will be extended with additional rows or columns if their is insufficient room
for all the Clipboard data.
You can also paste into a selected range on the spreadsheet. If the Clipboard is
larger than the spreadsheet selection the data will be truncated; if the
selection is larger than the Clipboard the data will be repeated to fill up the
select range.
The SPLOAD directive loads data from GSH and GWB files within the
command language. The IMPORT procedure loads data from other
file formats within the command language.
