The communications environment offers a Copy Table Command that automatically copies and pastes tables from a communications document into a spreadsheet. That makes it easy to copy stock information and other tabular data received from your on-line service into any ClarisWorks document.

Follow these steps to copy tabular data you captured from a bulletin board service into a spreadsheet:

1. Click and drag to highlight the information in the communications document on your screen.

2. Choose "Copy Table" from the Edit Menu.

3. Create a new spreadsheet or switch to an existing spreadsheet template.

4. Click in the cell where you want the first piece of tabular data to appear.

5. Choose "Paste" from the Edit Menu. ClarisWorks will paste each piece of data into a separate cell.
