Tape Window
 
The Tape window automatically records all conversions performed by Euro Assistant Pro. Its content can be copied to the clipboard, printed, saved to a text file or clipped.

Showing and Hiding the Tape
 
To show or hide the Tape window choose the Show Tape or Hide Tape command in the File menu. The Tape window can also be hidden by clicking its close box.
When the tape is hidden, Euro Assistant Pro stops recording conversions, but the logged results (if any) are not lost.

When you import a series of numeric values by choosing the Import command in the File menu or by dropping a text file or clipping on the desired input currency's ISO code, the Tape window is automatically shown.

Copying and Clearing the Tape
 
To copy the tape's content choose the Copy Tape command in the Edit menu. To clear it choose the Clear Tape command in the Edit menu or drag it to the Trash.

Advancing the Tape
 
In the Tape window subsequent conversions are separated by a blank line. Choose the Advance Tape command in the Edit menu to place additional blank lines between a tape entry and the following one.

Printing the Tape
 
The tape can be printed by selecting the Print Tape command in the File menu. The printout can be formatted to any scale, page size and orientation by selecting the desired options in the Page Setup dialog box (Page Setup command in the File menu).
Each printed page has a header indicating the print date and time and the page number. The tape's content is ranged in one or more columns.

Saving the Tape
 
The tape can be saved to a text file. Five different tape formats are available:

• Standard
The tape's content is saved exactly as you see it in the Tape window.

• Single Row
Each conversion listed in the Tape window is arranged on a single row:

• Table
The conversions listed in the Tape window are arranged in a tabular form. Each conversion is arranged on a single row and different currencies are tab-delimited:

• Table - separated ISO codes
The conversions listed in the Tape window are arranged in a tabular form. Each conversion is arranged on a single row. Amounts and ISO codes are tab-delimited:

• Table - no ISO codes

When saving the tape you can choose whether to include or not thousands separators. Thousands separators are included if the Include thousands separators in text files and clippings option in the Preferences dialog box is set. See also Format Preferences.

To save the tape, show the Tape window and choose the Save Tape command in the File menu.
In the Save Tape dialog box specify the name of the file, where you want to save it and the desired format. Then click Save. You'll obtain a SimpleText file containing the Tape window's conversions.

Clipping the Tape
 
The quickest way of exporting the Tape window's content to another application (a word processor, a spreadsheet, ... ) is to copy and paste it. A far more flexible alternative is to drag and drop it.

Euro Assistant Pro offers you five different tape clipping formats: Standard, Single Row, Table, Table - separated ISO codes, Table - no ISO codes (see Saving the Tape). The current tape clipping format is specified in the Preferences dialog box (see Format Preferences).

When clipping the tape you can choose whether to include or not thousands separators. Thousands separators are included if the Include thousands separators in text files and clippings option in the Preferences dialog box is set. See also Format Preferences.

Notice that if you drag the tape's content by holding the option key down, then you just clip the last conversion listed in the tape.

If you want to export the tape's content to an application which doesn't support Drag & Drop, drag the tape to the desktop and make a text clipping of it: then open the clipping, copy it and paste it into the desired word processor or spreadsheet document.
