Issue

Can I copy text in tabular format for spreadsheets?

Solution

PASSPORT provides two additional copy modes for copying text in tabular format for spreadsheets:

• Tabular format (field separated) - copies the selected area of text and separates into rows and columns. Each field (protected or unprotected) is treated as a single cell in a spreadsheet. The end of each row on the terminal emulation screen is treated as the end of the row in the a spreadsheet.

• Tabular format (word separated) - copies the selected area of text and separates into rows and columns. Each word on the terminal emulation screen is treated as a single cell in a spreadsheet. The end of each row on the terminal emulation screen is treated as the end of the row in the a spreadsheet.
