<ul class="L1">
<li class="">
<p class="P2">If you only want to copy the contents of a cell (text or numbers), use the clipboard. You can even copy formulas that are in the cells into the clipboard (e.g., from the input lines of the formula bar) so that they can then be inserted into a text.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2">If you want to copy a simple, rectangular area of cells into a text document as a sheet, select the cells in the sheet and then use either the clipboard or drag & drop to insert them into the text document. You will then find an OLE object in the text document which you can edit further if you want.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p class="P2">If you drag table cells to the character preview of a presentation document, they will also re-appear there as OLE objects. Once dragged into the outline preview, each cell will form a line of the outline preview. Dragging using drag&drop will move the cells. If you press the shift key when dragging, it will be copied.</p>
