Pasting information from the table to other applications

The Paste in button from the table initially displays the last active application. For example, if you were using Excel before rendering the table in Autopilot, the button shows "Paste in Excel". If you have several applications open, use the dropdown menu next to the paste button to select the application where you want to paste the table. After selecting an application from the dropdown menu, the paste selection does not change until you make another selection from the dropdown menu. For the applications to appear in the dropdown menu, they need to be running on your device and not be minimized.

Direct copy-paste operations is supported by the following applications. For the applications to

  • Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, Outlook, OneNote, PowerPoint)

  • Web pages and forms (Chrome, Edge)

  • Notepad

Once you are happy with the content in the table, you can paste the information to other applications, using the integrated Clipboard AI :

  1. Select the Paste in button, and use the dropdown menu if you want to change the application where you want to paste the table.
  2. Autopilot tries to paste the table information into the designated application. Watch how your application is filled with data from the table.

Pasting in Excel

Pasting in Excel has several special requirements:

  • To copy a whole table to Excel, make sure you have a sheet open.

  • To paste into a specific Excel sheet, select it from the dropdown menu of the Paste in option.

  • If the excel sheet already has a table with headers, only the columns with the corresponding headers are pasted.
