Although the technique "copy as table and paste into spreadsheet" works, it is limited, e.g. if the view is too wide, you can't copy it as a table (but shrinking the column widths does work). Also, graphic icons in a view don't get pasted.
An alternative thought occurred to me: Why not export the view as a Lotus 123 file, and then import it into a IBM Symphony spreadsheet. Surely two IBM products would be compatible with each other? Surely...? Not a chance! The error message is "IBM Symphony do not support this file format." (love the grammar!) Unfortunately Open Office can't import Lotus 123 spreadsheets either, and I haven't yet been able to find any filters on the web. I'll keep trying because there is a need coming up in a few weeks.
