Curve Tool: Pasting Cells

Values copied to the clipboard either from the spreadsheet or from external programs can be pasted into the spreadsheet. The values must be valid for the curve selected and for the properties being pasted into. Values can be pasted into individual cells or into selection ranges. If the dimensions of the values to be pasted do not match the selection range, a warning message will be displayed. To paste the values regardless of the dimensions select a single cell as the starting point of the paste.

 

To paste values into the Spreadsheet:

  1. Copy the values to be pasted; see Cutting and Copying Cells for more information.

  2. Select the cell(s) to receive the values copied; see Selecting Cells for more information.

  3. On the Edit menu, click Paste.

 

If the paste command is not available, then the selection is not valid for pasting or there is no data in the clipboard to be pasted. Try changing the selection and repeating the steps above.

 

If the dimensions of the data in the clipboard and the selection in the spreadsheet will require additional points to be added, then the values will be pasted into the Insertion Point—see The Insertion Point for more information—otherwise the values will be overwritten; see Editing Cells for more details.

 

Note: When pasting the Interval Type property, a 0 is used for "Cubic" and a 1 is used for "Linear". This is only used when pasting from an external application.
