Here's something a few of you have asked for and we're happy to oblige. Simply copy the cells you want from Excel and paste them into your post.

Here's one I made earlier...

People	Chips	Egg	Sausage	Beans
Dave	1	2	3	1
John	0	1	1	1
Barry	1	0	2	4
Trev	1	2	2	1

does it just basically work on tabbing?


or not :)

*tries open office



does it only work on windows then? ;P

    ^top

It works on Excel whether it's Windows or Mac - that's what the majority of folks here use

If you'd like it to work for other software packages let us know and we'll take a look

Cheers greg

Is that yer actual science lingo?

It may be that you left a field blank - it doesn't like that for some reason

I must have been watching Red Dwarf recently.

lol, there'll be times when it doesn't work for whatever reason - old version of Excel, blank fields and the like but post @will when it happens and we'll fiddle about with the back end

A big round of applause for our genius programmer Mikey... *claps

Ha ha :) You'll make me blush.

One reason it may not work is if you only post a small amount of data. You need to have at least 10 cells of data to it to determine that it's meant to be a table.

Was that the problem ScienceBoy?
