As ockham mentioned, the copied dial data is tab delineated by rows and columns so it does paste into a spreadsheet, or word processor table, quite nicely.

You can also apply the parameter info for multiple lights, body parts, or props simultaneously by highlighting entire keyframe columns, (or any range really) in Poser's Animation Palette/Keyframe Editor (P4).

Also works for saving multiple figures, but because duplicate dial names will confuse Poser, you can save multiple figures together, but youd have to re-paste the dial info back to only one figure at a time.

But bigger is not always better:

One of the handy advantages of this text copy&paste method is that it permits applying a set of multiple dial parameter info, but one that is less than that for an entire body part, (HUH?) Sort of like configuring and applying Partial Poses on the fly, such as re-pasting all the dial info affecting just the Mouth or Nose, but only those dials, and not overwriting entire set for the Head.

In addition to CR2s, I started saving these spreadsheets for many of the figures I use as "Base" figures for morph settings. While Poser offers numerous other ways to do all this stuff already, this method simply proves to be much faster, with more flexibility and controllability in many instances, but really just too handy when setting up a new figure in a scene.

One of the earliest threads (AFAIK) on this topic linked above. (just re-read that and saw I forgot to mention that it also works for copying & pasting across multiple frames.)
