Copy And Paste
In this Help topic , we break Copy and Paste operations into three categories:
1) Copying from Chartsmith and pasting to other applications, 2) Copying from other
applications and pasting to Chartsmith, and 3) Copying from Chartsmith and
pasting to Chartsmith. Although 'Cut' is not explicitly detailed in this
context, in most cases cutting is equivalent to copying then deleting.
When pasting to the Data View, there is the choice of Paste and Paste Special.
Paste is used for pasting data with tab delimiters to data cells, row labels or
column labels. Paste Special allows the incoming data to contain tab, comma,
space, colon or semicolon column delimiters; and allows pasting to data cells,
data cells and row labels, data cells and column labels, or to data cells and
row and column labels. All Chartsmith copying from the Data View produces tab
delimited data; so there is no need to use Paste Special when copying and
pasting strictly within Chartsmith.

Copying and Pasting within the Chart Window
|
Charts - Charts can be copied and pasted within or between
Chartsmith documents. To do so, select the chart you wish to copy from the
Navigator, and select the Edit->Copy menu item. Then select the document
that you wish to paste the chart into and select the Edit->Paste menu
item. Charts will be pasted into a document after the currently selected
chart. When a chart is pasted into a document, the pasted chart will be
selected and its data will be displayed in the Data View Window. |

Series Columns
- Series columns can be copied and
pasted within or between the Data Views of a chart or different charts. One or
more series column can be copied at once. To do so, select the columns by
clicking in the column header and dragging across the series columns to be
copied, then choose the Edit->Copy menu item. Select the series column to
the left of where you would like to paste the copied series column, and
select the Edit->Paste menu item. Copying and pasting a series column does
not retain the attributes (such as fill color and line color) of the series
in the chart. Series types can only be pasted into charts of the same type.
For example, Chartsmith does not allow copying a bar series and pasting it
into a pie chart. |
