another.
To copy a free-standing cell

Web Intelligence copies the free-standing cell to the clipboard.
2. To paste the free-standing cell to another part of the report, right-click where you want
the free-standing cell to appear and click Paste on the menu.
3. To paste the free-standing cell into another application, paste the contents of the
clipboard from within the application.
The free-standing cell appears as a picture in the open document if pasted to another
application.

dragging and dropping the free-standing cell directly into the open document in the
target application.
You can copy the data in a free-standing cell as plain text into another application. For
example, if you copy a free-standing cell as text into Microsoft Excel, Web Intelligence
