How to copy data out of a table

Most users of SAGMILLING.COM use spreadsheet software for performing additional calculations, comparisons and to format output. Most of the tables of data generated by SAGMILLING.COM contain a special text box where the table contents can easily be copied and pasted into your favourite spreadsheet software (OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Microsoft Excel, Gnumeric, Lotus 1-2-3, etc.)

Pressing the [+] button at the top of a table will open a menu with extra options. The first option is "Export data" which, when clicked, will open a new dialogue box with a large text field containing all the data in the table, formatted in a special form that is easy for spreadsheets to import. Do not worry that the formatted data looks strange to humans -- just select the whole data field (usually clicking the mouse in the field and pressing Ctrl-A on the keyboard) and copy it (usually by selecting Edit|Copy from your browser's menu bar). Then switch to your spreadsheet and paste (usually by selecting Edit|Paste from your spreadsheet's menu bar).
