You can export table data into many Windows applications, such as Microsoft Excel, Notepad, or Word. You can export an entire table, or only selected cells.
You can export table data in the following ways:
Save a table as a file.
Drag-and-drop selected table cells into another application.
Copy and paste selected table cells into another application.
Print a table.
To save a table as a file:
Right-click anywhere in the table and select Save Table from the list of options. The Save dialog box appears.
Specify the following three things:
In the Save in field, browse to the folder in which you want to save the file.
In the File name field, type a name for the file.
In the Files oftype field, select the type of file you want.
Click Save. Your file is saved to the specified location.
To drag-and-drop table data into another application:
Open the application into which you want to export your data.
Resize the application window so that it does not take up the entire screen.
Access the Solar Eclipse window from which you want to drag data.
Determine the group of cells you want to export. Locate the upper-left cell and the lower-right cell of that group.
Click and hold the left mouse button on the upper-left cell. Holding down the mouse button, drag down and to the right until the bottom right cell is selected.
Release the mouse button. The desired group of cells should be selected.
If necessary, resize the Solar Eclipse window so that you can see both Solar Eclipse and the target application.
Click anywhere in the selected area and hold down the mouse button as you drag your selection into the target application.
Note: In most applications, a small square with a plus (+) sign appears when the mouse cursor is over the target application. The symbol means that you can now paste into the target application.
Release the mouse button to drop your table data into the target application.
Reformat the data within the target application, as needed.
