How to insert a table in a post

[black85vette]

I see the Insert Table button, but have not figured out how to make it work. I tried a table from word, text from notepad, cut and past from Excel, and a .csv format in text. Just have a small table of information that needs to stay in columns and rows. Even doing it in text does not seem to work. I get it looking right when I input it but a preview shows that it will be scrambled in the post.

Any pointers on this?

I cant help you with the attaching a table directly, but could you do a screengrab from Excel and then attach it as a jpeg?

Just put your table between HTML 'code' words, e.g.,

TAPER PIPE SIZES - NPT 
----------------------------
TAP 		DRILL
SIZE 		SIZE
----------------------------
1/8-27 		R
1/4-18 		7/16
3/8-18 		37/64
1/2-14 		23/32
3/4-14 		59/64
1"-11-1/2 	1-5/32
1-1/4-11-1/2 	1-1/2
1-1/2-11-1/2 	1-47/64
2"-11-1/2	 2-7/32
2-1/2-8 	2-5/8
3"-8 		3-1/4
3-1/2-8 	3-3/4
4"-8 		4-1/4
----------------------------

That works better. Still had to tweak the text a little but it ended up looking good. Thanks Marv! Wonder why the HTML "Table" function does not work?

Here's a small table:



col 1 col 2


row 1 How Now


row 2 Brown Cow




And here's how I did it.

    [u][b]col 1[/b][/u] [u][b]col 2[/b][/u]
  
  
   [b]row 1[/b] How  Now
 
 
   [b]row 2[/b] Brown  Cow
 

[\code]
