# Copying Information Between Programs

When you have relatively small amounts of information to move between programs — such as a few columns of data or a picture — the familiar copying and pasting action is probably faster than most other methods of sharing information. This method works between any two Windows programs, as long as the information actually appears on the screen.

You can copy information between different sheet views and project files within Microsoft Project, as well as between Microsoft Project and other programs. Typically, Windows programs can share copied information even if the destination program can’t save files in the format of the source program. The amount of information you can copy at one time depends on how much memory is available on your computer. The greater the available memory, the more information you can copy.
