Cannot paste tables to an online document on Chromebook

Post by LanaList »

Hi! I need some help!
Got myself Lenovo Chromebook IP Flex 5, installed Jamovi online version, but encountered some problems.
I cannot see anything when I try to paste tables from Jamovi output to an online word document, my document stays blank.
Actually, when I try to select that content on a blank page, I get a notion that there is something there, that wasn't minutes ago (before I pasted the table), but I still see nothing.

Can you help me?

hi lana,

this is how it works for us. perhaps you could describe (or provide a video) of how your experience differs.

Thank you for your reply.
Here's a video:

I'm trying to paste the table with CTRL+v command.

ah! i understand what is happening here.

if you want to copy the table, you'll need to right click on it, and select 'copy'.

if you just press ctrl+c, it will copy the data from the spreadsheet instead.

we've got some fixes in the pipeline that will make this more clear.

kind regards

You are right! Thank you so much.
Luckily, I have a touchscreen so I am able to copy the table the way you did in your video.
When pressing the screen I get my right click options and I get to paste the whole table.

Thanks again.
