About Cutting and Copying Project Data
When you cut, copy, and paste tasks and resources, you change the placement of cells in a view or add cells to a view. This allows you to paste task data from one view location to another, from one project file to another, and from Open Workbench to a Microsoft Windows application, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. When you copy and cut data from a project, Open Workbench puts it on the clipboard, the Microsoft Windows utility for transporting data between applications. This information remains on the clipboard until you cut or copy other information, or until you clear the clipboard.
You can use the following data formats with cutting and copying:
- Tab-separated text. A common format supported by many spreadsheet and word processing programs. If you cut a range of text in Open Workbench, you can paste it to any other application that supports tab-separated text.
- Open Workbench proprietary format. Open Workbench uses its own internal data format for cutting and pasting information inside Open Workbench projects.
- Objects. In Open Workbench, an object is a task (summary or detail) or a resource. To select an object in a spreadsheet view, click its row header.
- Gantt chart. You can only copy and paste in Gantt chart data formats. You can copy and paste text and graphics in a Windows application.
