If you are looking for a "Copy To Excel/Clipboard"-button, than unfortunately,
'no!, that advanced feature is not included' (yet?).

Workaround
A workaround is to install the 'more advanced' (Microsoft) Power Tools :
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/contents/PowerToys/W95PwrToysSet/default.asp?custarea=bus&site=family&openmenu=&highlight
editem=
(note: the above 3 lines are the single 1 web-link ; or you can search the Windows Support-site).

Actualy you can stick by just installing the PT's HTML-(printer)-driver,
(eg you are at liberty to give this new printer a name like "HTML to FILE")
and install the driver (eg configure it on its set-up) to print to FILE
(instead of print to PRINT, eg to a physical printer. The attached GIF shows the here installed
"Microsoft FILE HTML"-Driver on the "HTMLFILE:"-port).

Then open the Indicator Builder, click the "Print..."-button, click the "Printer"-button,
select the newly installed "HTML to FILE"-printer, wait a few seconds till the window
settles, click the "OK"-button, back in the main "Print"-window  <on the lower left>
click the radio-button to select ALL (the indicators), select to Print
"Names and Formulas"and click the OK-button......................and save the files in
the HTML-format (at first) and then open in Word...........

Finaly, you will have to check for both the 'copying of the full contents' as well as for
the 'correctness of the contents-formula wise', eg for as the HTML-driver is a not fully
supported (by Microsoft) printer-driver, and for that the Formulas in the MetaStock's
Indicator Builder often contain "left-overs" (text-wise) from long-forgotten deletions and
other type of removals (eg re-naming / changes etc.), eg many changes made to the
indicators in the past seem to still be present in the Indicator's DTA-file, sometimes
"living a life of their own or in combined with other indicators".
