VA Database 2.0

2.5 Export of text and curves

Copy text or curves to clipboard

MAIN WINDOW / Edit / Copy (Ctrl+C)

Text report: Copy the selected text in the text

subwindow to the clipboard. If no text is se-

lected, the whole content of the subwindow is

copied.

Curves: Copy substance, segment or calibration

curve to the clipboard.

Note: With VA Database under Windows 95, curves are copied to

the clipboard in square size. If you import the curves into other

programs from the clipboard, always resize the graphic window

to its initial aspect ratio, otherwise axes, labels, and texts are not

displayed correctly. Alternatively, export and import the curve in

the *.emf, *.wmf or *.bmp format where the aspect ratio is retained.

Export of curves

MAIN WINDOW / Edit / Export as Metafile... (*.wmf)

MAIN WINDOW / Edit / Export as Enhanced Metafile... (*.emf)

MAIN WINDOW / Edit / Export as Bitmap... (*.bmp)

The content of the current curve subwindow will

be saved as a graphics file on the hard disk. The

destination directory and the file name have to

be entered in the appearing EXPORT window.

The graphics file can be imported into other pro-

grams like Microsoft Word or Excel.

Note: Some programs (e.g. Microsoft Word 6 and 7) cannot im-

port of files in the *.emf format. In this case, export and import the

curve in the *.wmf or *.bmp format.

For exporting curves to graphic files it is recommended to use

the *.wmf or *.emf format for better resolution and the possibility to

rescale the graphics.
