# Introduction

You'll find the Table Pad Object on both the Interface level and the Map/Model level. You'll use the Table Pad to display the numerical output from your simulations, and as a locus for sending information to other applications (using Publish & Subscribe on the Macintosh or DDE on Windows). Linking operations are described in the Importing & Exporting Data section. Here, we document all other operations of the Table Pad.

The documentation of this section parallels that for the Graph Pad. Figure 6-58 provides a road map. The operations associated with the Table Pad are divided into three categories: Surface operations, Define dialog operations, and Format dialog operations.
