Send to clipboard
This command sends the output of any subsequent reports to the clipboard. The report is printed as a text-only file and all text formatting is ignored. If two reports are sent to the clipboard, the second report overwrites the first. Once a report has been sent to the clipboard, you can launch another program, such as a word processor, and paste the report into it.
If you use Send to clipboard in a reversible block, the report destination reverts to its former setting when the method terminates. The contents of the clipboard are not altered by the command or its reversal.
If you want to copy pictures from a report to the clipboard, you can print the report to screen and use the mouse to select the area required. The standard Edit menu Copy option will copy the graphic to the clipboard.
