Copying to the clipboard

You can copy the contents of the Floor plan, Table plan, Table chart, Guest chart and Statistics panes to the clipboard for pasting into other applications (such as Microsoft Word). Bring the appropriate pane to the front of the Top pane and select Edit| Copy or the equivalent Main tool bar button.

The Floor plan and Table plan will be copied to the clipboard as an image.

Note If you want a larger image check export/copy image as large as possible in the Preferences window.

The Table chart, Guest chart and Statistics panes will be copied to the clipboard as both plain text (no formatting) and HTML (some formatting). Which one is used will depend on the capabilities of the application you paste into, for example Word will use HTML and Notepad will use plain text.

Note that font size is not preserved when you copy a Table chart or Guest chart as HTML, as there is no reliable way to map between point size and HTML font size. You should be able to reset the font size easily enough in the other application. The chart layout can look cramped if the chart is too big for the page you paste it into. You may be able to fix this by reducing the font size, changing the page orientation to landscape and/or reducing the number of columns in the chart.

You can also use File| Export to transfer data to other applications via a file.
