st: Copying and pasting into Excel

["de la Garza, Adrian" <ADelagarza@imf.org>]

Does anybody know if it's safe to just go to the browser, select the
columns, copy them, and paste them into Excel? I have been doing this
and I just realized that when a value is missing, it copies in Excel the
value from the next populated column on the same row.

Thanks.
