[Solved] Copy trendline equation as plain text

Hi, I can copy the formula and then paste it into another Calc cell. But how can I copy/paste it as plain text so that I can just paste that into Notepad? I tried pasting it into Writer and then saving as a *.txt file, but then the formula just disappears and doesn't appear in the output file.Thanks.

Here's one way:

Copy the equation in the chart to clipboard.

Start a new OO Draw window: File > New > Drawing

Paste the equation

Select the equation and right-click > Break

Now you can click into the text and copy/paste it as plain text anywhere you like.

Sorry, it's not very convenient. Maybe someone else has an easier way?
