Hi Ursula,

I don´t use Windows anymore, but I´think it isn´t possible. But maybe
this helps you:

To paste a dataframe to the Win-clipboard, just print the dataframe in R
(asume its name as my_data)

> my_data

Now you can mark it with your mouse, type Contr+C to paste it to the
clippboard. To read data from the clippboard, you must save it to a
file, e.g. use the Notepad editor and paste the data to its sheet. Save
the file and use the read.table-function in R to read the data from the 
file.

bye, Sven
