RE: Client Access Cut/Paste

If you want your output to look good try just hitting your print screen
button, then go into word on a blank document and paste. The screen pasts
very nicely.

Subject: RE: Client Access Cut/Paste 

I can tell you what I do, since i am forever cutting and pasting from 
AS/400 screens to e-mails and i want my output to be intelligible.

If we are dealing with an entire report, I use Ops/Nav to get the report to 
a folder which contains a collection of reports to be attached to e-mail, 
or fed into Excel or whatever, in which at Ops/Nav copy time, I rename to 
summarize content description and date of capture.

Sometimes the data being copied is not exactly friendly to wherever it is 
being used, which can lead to software modifications on the 400 to make the 
whatever more end goal friendly.

If I do not mouse wipe block around a portion of the data, then EDIT COPY 
gets the whole screen.  If I first mouse wipe block around, then EDIT COPY 
only gets what I identified.  I can also EDIT COPY APPEND (to prior COPY 
and/or COPY APPEND) to simplify getting at a string of similar content.

When I paste to wherever, with Ctl<V>, I immediately change that content to 
a proportional font like Courier, so it is lined up nice, and if there is 
any risk of line wrap-around, I change it to a smaller font, so the end 
result looks just like what I started with.
