Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System:
is here a way to copy ans paste worksheet (or better graphs with embedded worksheets) from one instance of Origin to another?
i.e. short of:
- manually create a new worksheet in the destination file
- returning to the source file and cutting the data
- pasting manually the data?
repeating all this for units, comment s etc
ideally and logically, there'd be a way to simply copying and paste a worksheet object with two clicks... the same as we can for instance, paste a graph into a Word document. |

Hi,
Can you simple select File:Save Window as... to save the worksheet into .ogw file and open it in another Origin project?

maybe - but that's hardly the point. if origin is serious about being quality software, simple cut and paste of objects is kind of basic functionality.
i can also create a template or whatever it is call,ed create new instance then apply the template, then cut and paste the data.
or i can hire monks to transcribe it by hand if i want to go really old-school..

You have a good point. Currently Edit->Copy from a worksheet interprets the selection, so how about we add a Copy command from right-click on the sheet tab?

The embedded worksheets part, can you elaborate? Do you mean the tables with fitting results on a graph?

You do not have to do repeating, with all data highlighted on source, press Ctrl+Shift+A (Copy All),
go to destination sheet in another instance, highlight col(A) and press Ctrl+V.
--> data and labels will be pasted.
Hope it helps. |

ok this is better. it still does not copy worksheet attributes like its name (longname? shortname? why tow names?!!) but is seem to work with anything "inside" the worksheet - so that helps a bit! thx...
