Copy
The Copy option in the toolbar or the Edit menu, allows you to copy the current view to the Windows clipboard. From the clipboard, images can be pasted directly into word or image processing applications, for further editing, report writing etc.
- If the Report Generator is the active view, then the Copy option will copy the Report Generator text to the clipboard. By default, ALL text in the Report Generator will be copied to the clipboard. If you only want selected text, then first highlight the desired text with the mouse, and then select Copy.
- Images can be saved in two different formats, available in the Picture Format option in the Edit menu. You should set the desired Picture Format BEFORE using Copy. Changing the Picture Format AFTER using Copy will have no effect on the clipboard contents.
Using the Print Screen key to Copy
Another useful method of copying images to the Windows clipboard is to use the Print Screen key on your keyboard. This allows you to capture the entire screen, or the application window only, to the clipboard.
- To capture the entire screen to the Windows clipboard, select the Print Screen key on your keyboard. This is useful if you wish to capture multiple views in a single image, for example after tiling the views.
- Pressing the Alt + Print Screen keys together will capture the application window only to the clipboard. This is useful if the Interpret program window is not maximized on your desktop.
