    In windows if I copy a TSV text from a file then select the whole table with the move tool and paste, it does go into different cells almost as expected but there are a bunch of blank rows between the rows possibly due to the \r\n newline ending or something. If I select cells in a table and use Place then I can place a TSV file without this empty extra rows problem, but the Place file selector won't let me select CSV or TSV file extensions. I have to rename the file to .txt to get it to let me place it. Thanks everyone for the help. It seems like Affinity has lots of little issues with tables and they really need some sort of general overhaul.....

    Hmm.... wonder if the french string was left out of the string library. Do you see it under Settings->Shortcuts?

    Every one ive tried crashes on me frequently. Do you know of a decent one that works in win 11?

    I'm interested in this as well. I don't need ICML specifically, but I want to be able to create a page layout in Publisher and import XML marked up text which has tagged stuff like "this is a chapter", "this is a section", "this is a paragraph in the section". That is, logical document layout markup imported into Publisher which then decides what styles and masters to apply.

    Please re-evaluate table improvements

    Yes, this. Some of us don't use excel either and don't have it, don't want to buy it.

    Same here. Tables need work on some basic functions like this.

    1 year later.... yes this seems like a major oversight in Publisher

    Still running into same problems here. Tables need some work. One idea is for Paste Special to have options for how to interpret the clipboard data as multiple cells rather than a huge blob of text pasted into one cell. Perhaps try to make Paste in tables "smart" by default, make "paste without formatting" force everything into one cell, and allow Paste Special to have options like CSV/TSV/RTF table data to force a particular interpretation when the default "smart paste" behavior doesn't interpret the data as intended.

    Yes, this feature. Need proper pasting of data into multiple table cells, not just in RTF but also CSV/TSV.

    I was hoping to avoid that kind of extra step but I'll give that a try. I tried this but it still didn't work. With plain text using newlines, everything still ends up in one cell. Paste Special is just under Paste in the edit menu. It's there even when there's only one "special" option and I don't remember having to enable any special features to get it.....

    It looks like your CSV doesn't using quoting, but it contains quotation marks and you have "Quote" set to '"' in the data merge manager. That could be confusing something. Try setting Quote to "None" in the data merge manager. Rainbow CSV (VSCode CSV extension) didn't read the file properly for me until I removed the quote character from the read options. Edit: actually I'm wrong, it's still not reading the file properly. maybe it does use quoting? This file is a little hard to figure out. Perhaps there's just a bug in the import related to the large number of fields/columns.

    I had tried Paste Special, but the only option i get is "unicode text". So I pasted the list of words into a word processor, then copied it back out so there should be RTF on the clipboard, then tried "paste special"ing it into the table as RTF Text (the option did show up this time), but no luck. I tried this with selecting a whole column, and with creating a new table and selecting the whole thing. It seems like Publisher is extremely picky about what it considers to be table-format data in some unknown manner. I also tried copying a few rows of TSV (tab separated) text and no luck. There should be an option for "CSV Text" and "TSV Text" in "Paste Special" but it seems this doesn't exist.

    sounds like it could be a bug. how long is the csv?
  28. Print Monkey
    This was working for me, except when I had something set wrong like CSV/TSV delimeters etc. Which input format are you using? (CSV, JSON, XML?)
