postmadesign Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I tried to paste text from excel into a table, but this does not seem to work, and it pasts the contents somewhere else on the page, but not as a table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Currently if you just paste the text it will paste as a text frame. If you select a cell it should paste it's contents into a table cell. We're not advanced enough yet to auto create a table I;m afraid Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erickp Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Making "Tables" a little more robust would be extremely useful in terms of workflow. I tried importing a CSV file and I can't seem to do it. I tried pasting 4 columns with 10 rows from Excel, into a table within publisher and it seems to paste the whole thing in one column down various rows. Doesn't seem to recognize the columns and rows correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blw Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Agreed. I have a bunch of tables to copy from electronic sources. I will do them manually for now, but please put this on the backlog for the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Try making a table, with at least one row with at least 2 cells, then selecting that row, then pasting the table text in. That works for tables copied from LibreOffice Calc. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blw Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Excellent tip. That mostly worked - I copied from Numbers in this case. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
