2. Select the area where you entered the correspondence between values and value labels as shown below, and then select Edit > Copy.
3. In the JMP sample data "Analgesics.jmp," right-click the column header for the "Drug" column (on a Mac, hold down the control key and click the column header) and select Column Properties > Value Labels.
4. In the window that appears, click on the field indicated by the red arrow in the "Value Labels" box.
*After performing step 4, a dotted line frame will appear within the field as shown below. On the Mac version, the outside of the field will be highlighted in blue.
5. Press ctrl and V on your keyboard (or command and V on a Mac), and paste the value and value label correspondence table as shown below.
