Inserting a Table??

[DelBoy]

Anyone know how the 'Insert Table' option works??

I have a simple Excel spreadsheet that I want to insert into a post and to keep its format.

If you press the printscreen button with the spreadsheet showing what you want to display, Then paste it into Paint. You can then display it as a JPEG.

Hi Del,

The "Table" reffered to by the "Insert Table" feature is to allow you to create am "html" table NOTa spread sheet.

I assume this is an excel spreadsheet for the T-Shirts.  If you like I can provide you with some webspace to allow you to upload the Spread sheet for people to download.

Or you could maintain an html table like this:-

Bafty Crastard	1
Bob U	1
Chris(Alibongo)	1
Christopher	2
Del	9
DfH	15
fagey	2
Fran	1
garyfrogeye	1
Jay(Team Cannonball)	2
Mark (Smokie)	2
Mike C	2
Nordic	6
Piglet	2
pretzel	1
Rick Cutler	2
Smokie	2
Steve Brown	1
Termietermite	1
Werner	2
Wishy	2

The way to do this is click "Insert Table"  That will give you a

Code:

[table][/table]

Press return twice and it should change to

Code:

[table]

[/table]

Move the cursor up one line.
Then Click "Insert Row"  That will give you

Code:

[table]
[tr][/tr]
[/table]

Then Click "Insert Column" That will give you

Code:

[table]
[tr][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]

Add the name then move the cursor to the space between /td] and [/tr then click "Insert Column" That should then look somthing like

Code:

[table]
[tr][td]Bafty Crastard[/td][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]

and enter the number.
Move the cursor to the end of the liine and press return.

Then repeat the "Insert Row" "Insert Column" steps for each line.

It should end up looking somthing like :-

Code:

[table]
[tr][td]Bafty Crastard[/td][td]1[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Bob U[/td][td]1[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Chris(Alibongo)[/td][td]1[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Christopher[/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Del[/td][td]9[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]DfH[/td][td]15[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]fagey [/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Fran[/td][td]1[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]garyfrogeye[/td][td]1[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Jay(Team Cannonball)[/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Mark (Smokie) [/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Mike C[/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Nordic[/td][td]6[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Piglet [/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]pretzel [/td][td]1[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Rick Cutler [/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Smokie [/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Steve Brown[/td][td]1[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Termietermite [/td][td]1[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Werner [/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Wishy [/td][td]2[/td][/tr]
[/table]

I always find that, if you're really stuck for space, it really is best to take the legs off.

In my limited experience, the legs are the only bits that fit.
