Cut, copy and paste data in the grid

You can transfer data from selected grid cells to external programs by using the cutting, copying and pasting functionality. This can be accessed in a number of ways:

• Use Cut, Copy, Copy Special and Paste from the Edit menu.

• Use the Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + Shift + C and Ctrl + V keyboard shortcuts.

• Press the , , and buttons for cut, copy, copy special and paste respectively.

Copying a selected region of the grid will place a copy of the information associated with those cells onto the clipboard, from where it can be pasted over cells in the same grid, into other grids, or into an external program (such as Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet software) for further analysis.

Conversely, data can be pasted into the Process Model Manager Reference Manual grids from external programs, or from other grids. Cutting data copies it to the clipboard, before permanently removing it from the grid.
