    You can use copy and paste to copy ranges of cells within a table/tab, between tables/tabs, between gINT projects, or between gINT and Word or Excel.

    Note: To perform this exercise you will need the 'New Project.GPJ' that is part of our set of training files: 

    Instructions for unzipping and setting up these files are on: 

    Using Copy and Paste

    To create a new borehole record by copying:

    1. Go to INPUT.

    2. Ensure that the current project is new project.gpj (select File->Open Project and browse to the project).

    3. Go to the Borehole tab.

    4. Click the light blue square to the left of the ‘MW-1’ row. This highlights the row.

    5. Press Ctrl-C, or right-click on the row and select Copy.

    6. Click in the bottom (empty) row. Press Ctrl-V, or right-click->Paste. A duplicate borehole row appears.
    7. Double-click in the Borehole Number field in the second row and change the value to ‘MW-2’. You can now edit the other fields in the new record.

    Note: If you don’t change the borehole number in the second row, you will see a “duplicate key” error message when you try to leave the Borehole tab, and you will not be allowed to leave the tab until you fix the duplication.

    To copy all rows of a dependent table from one borehole to another, do the following:

    1. Click in the ‘MW-1’ cell in the first row to highlight it.

    2. Click on the Sample tab. The sample data is displayed for borehole MW-1.

    3. Click the light blue square in the upper left corner of the table grid. The entire grid is highlighted.

    4. Press Ctrl-C, or right-click->Copy.

    5. Select ‘MW-2’ in the object selector. An empty table grid appears.

    6. Press Ctrl-V, or right-click->Paste. The rows you copied from MW-1 are now in MW-2 also.

    7. Go to the Borehole tab, and highlight the MW-2 row by clicking the light blue square to the left of the row. Press the Delete key.

    8. Click on the Lithology tab. Click OK at the following prompt.

      Deleting a row from the POINT table eliminates the new borehole record, not only from the POINT table, but from the dependent tables as well.

    9. Click the object selector and notice that the MW-2 borehole is no longer listed.

    You can also copy and paste between a gINT table in grid view and a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or Word document

    1. Go to the Lithology tab in gINT.

    2. Select the entire table by clicking the light blue square at the upper left corner of the grid (just left of the first column heading).

    3. Press Ctrl-C, or right-click->Copy.

    4. Open Excel.

    5. Press Ctrl-V, or select Edit->Paste. Notice that the data from the LITHOLOGY table has been pasted into the spreadsheet.

    6. Close Excel, and open Word. Press Ctrl-V, or select Edit->Paste. Notice that the data been pasted as a Word table.

    7. Close Word.
