Defining Formulas

4–40

To use the Copy and Paste features, follow this general procedure:

• Select the source formula – Pick the Next or Previous box, or use the

Jump box, to set the formula number to the formula you wish to copy.

• Pick the Copy box. This marks the current formula selection as the

source. The Paste box will then designate the number of the source.

• Select the destination – Pick the Next or Previous box, or use the Jump

box, to set the number to the destination – the formula which will receive

contents from the source.

• Pick the Paste box. The formula contents are automatically copied from

the previously selected source formula to the currently selected

destination formula.

Copy / Paste boxes

Note these additional considerations regarding the Copy/Paste features:

Previous contents overwritten: When you copy the contents of the source

formula into the destination formula, the previous contents of the destination,

if any, are overwritten.

Source formula remains selected: The source formula selection remains as

selected until a different source formula is selected. This means that you can

copy the source formula contents to a number of different formulas.

Copied formula contents pasted: When you pick the Paste box, the

copied contents of the selected source are pasted. For example, suppose that

you select formula 1 and pick the Copy box, then change some of the

contents of formula 1 before picking the Paste box. When you do pick the

Paste box, the copied former version, not the current version, of formula 1

would be pasted to the destination formula.
