On the machine from which information is to be transferred
(the ‘sending machine’), select the information you want to
transfer:
•
If the information is a file, ensure that the file is closed and
highlight the filename on the System screen. Hold down the
Shift key and tap additional filenames if you want to transfer
more than one file.
• If the information is an object already inserted from another
program, e.g. a graph displayed in Word, just select the
object. If the inserted object is displayed as an icon, you can
just select the icon.
• If the information is an Agenda or Data entry, open the
appropriate file and move the cursor to the required entry.
•
If you wish to transfer a graph, highlight the cell contents in
Sheet view. Graphs cannot be transferred direct from one
Sheet file to another, only the cell contents. Relative and
absolute cell references are preserved.
• Otherwise, open the file from which the selected
information is to be transferred, and select the required
information (e.g. the piece of text, range of spreadsheet
cells, sketch area).
Note: Objects can be transferred like other information. They
appear as objects on the receiving machine.
