Columns can be hidden, either via the dialog box on the previous page or by right-
clicking on the column header followed by selecting Hide from the pop-up menu. If
you make a column invisible, this will be indicated by the corner of the adjacent col-
umn being folded down. Right-clicking the column header with the folded down cor-
ner and selecting Unhide Next from the pop-up menu will make the column visible
again.

The Grid Class Views editing facilites for copying and pasting data between cells,
rows or columns, work in a fashion similar to that of Microsoft Excel as this will be
familiar to most users. You select row/column by clicking on the row/column header.
Select cells by clicking on them. Multiple selections can be made using Shift-click or
Ctrl-click. A block can be selected by dragging out a boundary box. Selections can
be cancelled by clicking another selection or an area that does not contain cells.
You can mark a selection for copying using Ctrl-C or the copy option on the Edit
menu. The marked selection will then be shown with a dotted line around it. Then the
data may be copied to a region selected elsewhere, by using Ctrl-V or the Paste
option on the Edit menu. The “mark for copying” may be cancelled by pressing Esc.
The region you want to copy something to, must, in most cases, be of the same
shape as the region you copy from, i.e.same number of rows by the same number of
columns. If this is not so, SAM will raise an error message. Also, there may be func-
tions in the right-click menu to enable you to perform functions globally on the
selected cells. These functions are specific to the particular view.
