Somewhere I got the impression you were using MS 8.0. I may be wrong but I don't think it's possible
to copy System Tester results from 8.0. I think that was one of the bugs fixed with 8.01. The "copy
to clipboard" option certainly works for 9.0, though Ctrl+C doesn't seem to work. Once pasted to the
clipboard Crtl+V works OK for pasting into Excel.
Kind regards
