122 Saving Tables, Reports, and Sessions Chapter 4
Pasting Reports into Another Program
Pasting Reports into Another Program
When you need JMP reports or data tables for use in another program, you can save the reports or
tables by copying and pasting, or dragging and dropping, parts of it into another program, such as
Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Then, save the document in that application. Note that on Linux, you
can copy and paste (or drag and drop) text but not graphics.
1 Click the selection tool ( ).
2 Click and drag (or Shift-click) to select items in a report window or data table. Clicking near the
edge of the report window selects the entire report.
3 Click the selected items and drag them from JMP to the other program. Or, copy the selected items
in JMP and paste them into the other program. When you paste an element into another
application, the format used depends on the application into which you paste. If the application has
a Paste Special command and you use it, you can select a format to use, such as text (.rtf),
unformatted text (.txt), picture or Windows metafile (.wmf), bitmap (.bmp), or enhanced picture
(.emf).
Note: To copy all text (no graphs) from the active report window as unformatted text, select Edit >
Copy As Text. On the Macintosh, press the Shift key and select Edit > Copy As Text. To copy only the
graph (no text), right-click the graph and select Edit > Copy Picture.
Saving JMP Sessions
Each time you use JMP is called a session. A saved session is a JSL script that will re-open documents and
re-run analyses to restore JMP its state when the session script was saved. A saved session can help get
you back to a previous state without having to manually re-open files and re-run analyses.
If you are an advanced user, it is important to understand what session information is preserved in a
saved session. Any documents (such as data tables, scripts, and journals) that have been saved are
re-opened, and any windows that support script saving will be re-run (equivalent to clicking the red
triangle in a report and selecting Script > Redo Analysis). Side effects of running scripts, such as
global variable values or custom windows, will not be saved, and the state of highly interactive analyses
will not be saved.
Saving Sessions Upon Exiting
The most common use of saved sessions is to save the state when JMP exits so it can be restored when
JMP restarts. By default, JMP asks if you would like to save the state of your session each time you exit
the program (Figure 4.6). This enables you to quit JMP, and then return to it later without having to
open the files with which you were previously working.
