You can store a lot of supporting information in an Origin workbook and at least a portion of this data becomes part of any graph that is made from that workbook data. In an effort to reduce file sizes, some workbook information is excluded (e.g F(x)= column label row formulas, user-defined variables saved on data file import, etc.) when saving graphs as OGG files or when doing an Edit: Copy Page (or CTRL+C) and pasting the graph into your office application as an OLE-editable graph object.

If you want to save all worksheet information with an OGG file or embedded Origin graph, then you should set the "@sow" LabTalk system variable to 1 (default=0 minimizes file size).

To save all workbook data in the current Origin session only, open the Script Window (Window: Script Window), type the following, then press Enter:

@sow=1

Subsequently, any graph saved as an OGG or inserted into another application as an OLE object in the current session, will contain all workbook data.
