Press the Delete button on the toolbar. Alternatively, right-click the mouse

2.6.3 Cut, Copy and Paste
The Items dialog has Cut, Copy and Paste functionality for the items listed in
the table. Items can be cut or copied from ShipWeight and pasted into a
spreadsheet, e.g. Excel. Select one or several rows the table. Press the Cut
or Copy button on the toolbar or select Cut or Copy on the Edit menu.
Alternatively, press Ctrl+X to cut or Ctrl+C to copy.
Seemingly, large numbers are rounded when copying from ShipWeight to
Excel. For example, the unit weight 7777777.7777 in ShipWeight will display
as 7777778 in Excel.
To display the correct value in Excel, the proper Cell-formatting must be set.
Mark all the cells containing numbers, right-click the mouse, and select
‘Format Cells’. In the Format cells window, the cells are of the category
‘General’. This should be changed to ‘Number’. Also set ‘Decimal places’ to 4.
Excel will now correctly display 7777777.7777.
Data can be copied from a spreadsheet to ShipWeight. Before copying data
into ShipWeight, make sure the item numbers are not duplicated. Also verify
that the order of the data in the spread sheet is the same as the order of the
columns in the table of the Items dialog. To check that the order of the data is
correct, it can be useful to use the ‘Copy Heading’ option on the Edit menu of
the Items dialog. Now, the heading of the table view can be pasted into the
spreadsheet to verify the order of the data.
To copy the data back into ShipWeight, select and copy the data in the
spreadsheet. In ShipWeight, select Paste either on the toolbar, the Edit menu
or by pressing Ctrl+V. The items will now be pasted into the table.
Please note that it is not advisable to copy very large figures from Excel to
ShipWeight without first formatting the cells in Excel to Number with a proper
number of decimal places.

The filter dialog is divided into three areas; ID-area, Expression-area and
