Copy/print range of rows in a list

How to copy/print a range of rows from an observing list?

I tried check marking the rows, but the entire list is copied or printed.

Hello,

The Nightly Planner is designed to be filtered down to the objects (rows) that you wish to see. When you print the list it will print the filtered list. This works for purposes like filtering to show only objects that you want to observe on a particular night.

If you have some arbitrary objects that you want to print, select them as you did before. Right-click in the check mark column and select Copy to. Create a new list to copy those objects to. Switch to your new list and print it out.

Hi Spence,

After you put the Check Marks on the items that you want to print, create a new, temporary Observing List, Right Click on one of the Check Marks and use the 'Copy Checked To' option in the Dropdown list to copy all of the Checked objects to your new list. Finally Print out the Temporary list. It's a little awkward at first, but but you can do a lot of list operations using the Check Marks, like displaying Checked objects in the Interactive Atlas or the Overhead Sky map to check the relationships among several objects. You can also build customized Observing Lists by copying selected objects from several lists and making a new one or performing a sort on a column, putting Checks on a portion of the objects, then Copying them to another list. You can also Move Checked objects.

The Check Marks allow you to do many fancy list operations on your Observing Lists.

Hope this helps,
