help with SPSS?

[Screech]

I'm asking this for a friend, so I have no idea what this means, my apologies.

How does one copy variables in SPSS? (the computer program)

Ugh, off the front page already.

edit: am i a total moron for not posting in the software section? doh

just highlight and press ctrl+c
ctrl+v to paste in whereever

I did that in SPSS and pasted into Excel

Friend says: 'right, but the problem is that it doesn't take the data with it'
