Hi Computer Geek people

Can you tell me how we can cat and paste into a table now?

For example: if I cut and paste a spreadsheet that looks like this:

[TABLE="class: grid"]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A
[/TD]
[TD]B
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Black
[/TD]
[TD]1
[/TD]
[TD]2
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]White
[/TD]
[TD]3
[/TD]
[TD]4
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]




I get this:
[table]
[TR]
[TD="width: 64, bgcolor: transparent"][/TD]
[TD="width: 64, bgcolor: transparent"]A
[/TD]
[TD="width: 64, bgcolor: transparent"]B
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]Black
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]1
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]2
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]White
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]3
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent, align: right"]4
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/table]

Which isn't helpful ... or very readable.

I was ok when the [TABLE][/TABLE] & [TD][/TD] etc commands actually made the table work - as I could edit the spreadsheet and add appropriate columns abd stuff - but buggered if I can cut and paste a table from Excel or Word into the forum and actually make it look like a table.

(i.e., I can create a table - copy in Excel and paste in here, but it puts all th data in the selected cell - i you get what I mean)

Any advice?

Ta much

Copy and paste works fine for me:

Give it a try on the new software, and let me know how you get on.

Doesn't seem to have a "Table" button in the reply text editor thingame. So will try to type in the codes:

[table][tr][td][/td][td]A[/td][td]B[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Black[/td][td]1[/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]White[/td][td]3[/td][td]4[/td][/tr][/table]
