You can save the data on your screen for later use, export it or copy to the clipboard as text or as image, you can opt for just one line or the whole screen.
Examples:
If you copy the data on the screen above as text to the clipboard, you will get:
1 + 1 = 2
2 ^ 3 = 8
8 ^ 8 = 16777216
1 / 3 = 0,[3] = 1/3
1/3 ^ 2 x 0,[6] = 0,[074] = 2/27
16777216
If you copy the last line as image to the clipboard, you will get:

BIG Fractions
We have BIG numbers and we have fractions. But what about BIG fractions? Well, we can assure you that this calculator has BIG fractions too!
Suppose you want to create a fraction with the result of 9999! as nominator and the result of 10000! as denominator, like:
Can you do that ? Yes you can!
How to view or edit your Biggies
Once you've created a BIG number or fraction, you can view it by clicking on the edit button. You'll find this button on the right side of the number:
You will get a screen like this:
If you want to edit the last calculated BIG number, like in the previous example:
Just click on the number:
Here you can view or edit the number, remove the fraction part, etc.
You can always get feedback on lengthy calculations
Suppose you want to get your hands really dirty with a nice lengthy calculation, like:
You will always get feedback via the Calculation Progress Window:
You'll find the Calculation Progress Window on the right side of the button panel.
How to use the Heavy Duty Calculator as a Tool Window
In some situations you just need a small always-on-top window with no buttons to perform your calculations on, while having another document open.
Something like this:
To get a window like this, go to Options:
Within Options, you are able to create two types of Views: Normal View and Small View. The application can switch automatically from one view to the other, depending on the current screen size, via:
In this case, when the total surface covered by the application is less than 40 % of the total screen surface, the application switches to Small View.
Both Normal View and Small View can be customized.
Normal View
Small View
In this example, if you resize your calculator window to a size less than 40 % of the surface area, the calculator's view will change from Normal View with buttons, captions, calculation numbers, bigger font to Small View, without buttons, smaller font, always-on-top, etc.
To use the Calculator without buttons, you'll need to use keyboard shortcuts for operations that are nonstandard.
The Options window has the following button:
Showing the following window:
Here you can define your own shortcuts.
Export to the Clipboard as Image
When you want to display your calculations in another program, like Word, you can easily copy and export data from the calculator.
Via Edit - Copy last Line as Image to Clipboard and Copy Screen as Image to Clipboard, the calculation or screen can be copied as an image to the clipboard. This will result in an identical view as is shown within the calculator.
For example, add the fractions 1/2 and 1/3 = in the calculator, then copy line as image, paste it in Word, you will get:
This is the identical view as appeared on your calculator screen.
Export as .txt file
Via the button
Will the entire screen be copied to a .txt file. The same rules apply as under Export to Clipboard as text
