Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------- I use Harvard Graphics (Software Publishing Corporation, Mountain View, CA) frequently, and I am generally pleased with it. But I am frustrated by my inability to find out from the documentation--or by fiddling--how to do several things that users must want to do from time to time. Any advice would be appreciated. Thus, I often want to import, usually via an ASCII file, new Y-columns into an already existing HG line chart data table, e.g., to import Y-columns 3 and 4 to a data able with Y-columns 1 and 2. Is there some way to do this? (I know how to import additional rows but not columns. It seems incredible that there should be no way to do that.) Somewhat similarly, is there any way to import "earlier" rows into an already existing HG line chart data table? (I know how to move rows "down" but not how to import new rows into those theoretically emptied out.) Finally, I have been unable to figure out how to combine data in two already existing HG line chart data tables. It seems odd that there is no way to do this, if true. One way around all this would be to be able to send HG line chart data tables to a file (I know how to send them to a printer), particularly if the file were ASCII. That file could then be loaded to another program, like Microsoft Word, and edited or added to there. But I can't figure out how to do that either. Nor does the HG documentation say, so far as I can tell. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- "The real test of an artist, of course, is not whether you can see each blade of grass, but whether the eyes follow you across the room." --Stewart Evans CSNET: ebm@ibm.com / UUCP: ...!uunet!ibmarc!ebm / BITNET: ebm@almvma.bitnet
