Copy
This command becomes available (ungreyed) when data has been selected. The
function of this command is determined by whether the Clipboard Text, Clipboard
Graphics, DDE Row Copy or DDE Column Copy option is selected.
When the Clipboard Text or Clipboard Graphics option is selected, this command
will cause currently selected text or graphics to be copied to the clipboard. The data
can then be inserted in a different position or another file using the Paste command.
The next block of data that is copied will delete the previous block on the clipboard.
When DDE Row Copy or DDE Column Copy is selected, various commands
representing the selected screen area will be copied to the clipboard. These
commands can be pasted to an appropriate area of the screen by another Windows
application that can interpret the commands, for example, Microsoft Excel. DDE
messages will be exchanged between TeemTalk and the application in which the
commands were pasted and, if acknowledged positively by both parties, an automatic
update will be performed from TeemTalk to the application if data in the selected area
changes.
To use the Copy option, hold down the left mouse button and move the pointer
across to the right to display additional options, as shown below.
The first option enables you to perform a standard copy. Pressing the keys Shift +
Delete together will perform the same function. The last three options are only
available when Clipboard Graphics is selected. They enable you to copy the
graphics image with black and white reversed, with colour converted to
monochrome, or both.
Note: A standard copy can also be performed by clicking the
middle mouse button on a 3-button mouse, or the right
button on a 2-button mouse.
