Cut, copying & pasting

The Edit>Cut and Edit>Copy operations send part of a worksheet (or its factors/indicators) to the clipboard, where they are accessible by other Windows software or can be pasted back into another region of the active sheet (or factors). Cut and Copy operate much as in Excel etc, on highlighted regions of the worksheet, the difference here being that highlights must be whole sets of rows, or columns, or a combination of rows and columns, the highlighted data always being the darkest displayed cell colour (if nothing is highlighted the cell at the current cursor position is copied). Edit>Paste places the data from the clipboard onto a highlighted area of the same shape or, if there is nothing highlighted, onto a rectangle with its upper left corner at the current cursor position.
