of each plot. </FONT><FONT size=2>At the end of the Formula, each plot must

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2><BR></FONT></FONT><FONT size=2><FONT
color=#0000ff><STRONG>7.2. </STRONG></FONT>You can now Copy a full Exploration
Report to the Clipboard, </FONT><FONT size=2>so the new v7.0
Help says.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> </FONT><FONT size=2>This
could be done previously in 6x by selecting another line than the default, and
this then seperatly in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> either </FONT><FONT
size=2>the Results </FONT><FONT size=2>or in the Rejects sections,
eg by hitting the CTRL+C keys.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> </FONT><FONT
size=2>That's all not necessary anymore..................when the
default Results are displayed, just right-click for</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> the </FONT><FONT size=2>small
</FONT><FONT size=2>Context Menu (in MetaStock known as ShortCut Menu) and
click Copy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> </FONT><FONT size=2>The
Help mentions that the entire Report will then be Copied, but
this is not true, eg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> -for the
default </FONT><FONT size=2>Results </FONT><FONT size=2>the Results'
list+Column details </FONT><FONT size=2>will be copied(like the CTRL+C action)
and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> -for Rejects
the </FONT><FONT size=2>Rejects list+Column details will </FONT><FONT
size=2>be copied</FONT><FONT size=2>(like the CTRL+C action)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> -and thus still 2x
separate </FONT><FONT size=2>actions are required to get the full Report Copied
to the Clipboard (and then</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2> later in</FONT><FONT
size=2>to Excel/Word etc.).</DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2> </DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But it is an improvement(should you not have had this already
automated).</FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>Sorting the Results Report</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>You can sort the Results report on any of the columns
(including the Security name column) in either</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>ascending or descending order.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
-Simply click the column heading on which you want to sort.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
-</FONT><FONT size=2>Click repeatedly to toggle between ascending and descending
order.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>When you sort on the security </FONT><FONT size=2>name column,
the report is sorted alphabetically.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>To control the primary, secondary, and tertiary sort columns,
use the Exploration Column Sort dialog.</DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This dialog is accessed by clicking the Sort button in the
Results report.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>Sort
by. </STRONG>Choose the primary
column on which the report is sorted from the drop-list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> <BR><STRONG>Then by.
</STRONG>Choose the column on which duplicates from the previous "sort" should
be sorted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
For example, if the security named "IBM" appeared five times in the report,
these five</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
occurrences of IBM would then be sorted by the column you choose
here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR>The sort order of the report is affected the most by the
sort column specified in the "<STRONG>Sort by</STRONG>" box.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The sort columns specified in the "<STRONG>Then by</STRONG>"
boxes only take effect when there are duplicates.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>Ascending. </STRONG>Choose this to
change the sort order of the column to ascending</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
(i.e., the values increase as you go down the report).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><BR><STRONG>Descending. </STRONG>Choose this to change
the sort order of the column to descending</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>
(i.e., the values decrease as you go down the report).</FONT></DIV>
