Cut / Paste from a deployed panel Table

[Midlothian]

Hi,

I have prepared a VI with tables that the user would like to simply copy/paste into Word or Excel.

When he does this, it copies the image not the text even when "copy data" is used. 

The individual cells work fine but any more than that moves an image to the windows clipboard.

The table is produced simply from the Express SV Toolkit vi's  "1/3 Octave" and "Full Octave" so

preparing a report output from the automatic table would seem to be a lot of work.

Does anybody have an easy answer or know of an option to enable the existing panel table

to be  used in other text-based applications such as the two MS Office regulars mentioned?

You can use the Copy to Clipboard invoke node to write your table as a tab delimited string to windows clipboard but its pretty basic. When you paste in Excel it works fine but with word you would need to convert text to table as an extra step.

Its a bit nippy this morning eh?

cheers
