IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28

Menu: Edit→Copy (to clipboard)

Shortcut: Ctrl-C

This button copies the path diagram from the Amos window to the Windows clipboard. You can then paste the path diagram into the same Amos Graphics window or into another Amos Graphics window. You can also paste a copy of the path diagram into other applications, such as Microsoft Windows compliant word processors, graphics file utilities and spreadsheets.

If you have previously selected some objects (using ), only the selected objects are copied to the clipboard.

Path diagrams are copied to the clipboard as bitmaps. As a result, image quality can deteriorate if a path diagram is pasted into another application and then re-sized in that other application. Microsoft Word 2007 and later versions, as well as Microsoft Excel 2007 and later versions, do an excellent job of re-sizing Amos's path diagrams. If it is necessary to enlarge or reduce a path diagram after it has been copied to the clipboard, one approach to preserving image quality is to paste the path diagram into Word or Excel and re-size it there.
