Copy as Structured Text

The " Copy as Structured Text" command copies elements to the clipboard as they appear on screen. This command is useful for copying table-like data from the Enhanced Grid View as well as the integrated Database/Table View.

The copied data can be used within XML Spy as well as third-party products, enabling you to transfer XML data to spreadsheet-like applications (e.g. Microsoft Excel).

view_table

If you copy this table and paste it into Excel, the data will appear in the following way:

view_excel

Please note:  
The results of this command depend on the way the information is currently laid out on screen. Using the same XML data (that served as an example for the Copy as XML-Text command) in the Enhanced Grid view with the Table view active, would result in the following:  

    row

The same data would be copied to the clipboard in the following format, with the Table view deactivated in the Enhanced Grid View.
