As you are defining Work Steps for your part, you may find it necessary to copy a Work Step. You can save time by copying an existing Work Step. The spreadsheet allows you to do this with just a few clicks of the mouse. The copying of Work Steps is accomplished with two spreadsheet menu commands: Copy Work Step and Paste Work Step
As you can see in the illustration below, three Work Steps have been defined. Each has its own Cycle Type and Path ID. In this example, we are going to copy Step2 and paste it after Step3.

The first step is to select the Work Step that you want to move. You can select the Work Step in one of two ways: click on any cell within the Work Step's row, or select the entire row. In the illustration below, you'll notice that the entire row of Step2 has been selected. To do this, click on the gray cell in the first column that corresponds to Step2.
The second step is to copy the Work Step to the clipboard. You can activate the spreadsheet menu by clicking on the yellow arrow or right-clicking on the mouse. Either way, once you have activated the menu, click on the Copy Work Step command.

Now that Step2 has been copied to the clipboard, the next step is to select the position where you want the Work Step to be pasted back into the spreadsheet. Remember, the Paste Work Step command always inserts the Work Step above the active cell or row in the spreadsheet. If you were to use the Paste Work Step command at this point, the copied Work Step would be inserted above the active row (Step2). We want the copied Work Step to be inserted after Step3. To accomplish this, click anywhere within the Total row. Refer to the illustration below.

Activate the spreadsheet menu by clicking the yellow arrow or by right-clicking the mouse. Click on the Paste Work Step command. And there you have it! Just remember that copying a Work Step is accomplished with the Copy Work Step and Paste Work Step commands. Also, the Paste Work Step command always pastes the Work Step above the active cell or row in the spreadsheet.
