icreate Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I was trying to drop in some data from Excel in Publisher (1.7.0.145 on Mac OSX High Sierra) and no matter how many cells I select it only pastes the data into the first cell. I thought maybe this was maybe how its supposed to work but looking at this post I see that @carl123 is using Windows it works this way but not on Mac for some reason. Raising it here just in case its a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdkeys Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I've been trying to import data from excel into Publisher on a Mac this morning and have the same issues. No matter what I try I have the same result. I hope Publisher will be a better option for creating catalogues and price lists for my small business. Without the ability to import data from existing excel files this will be a nightmare switch for me. I really hope this feature can be added or fixed for the Mac version soon. If it is, this software will be the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this the other week and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of price lists ready to go and value my time. I'm hopeful. icreate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 55 minutes ago, sdkeys said: I do hope that a workaround isn't necessary when this beta stage is over. It will still probably be necessary to highlight two or more cells of your Publisher table before doing the paste. That's what indicates you want to paste the data as a table. The issue for Mac, I think, is that copying/pasting directly from Excel doesn't seem to work, even with multiple Publisher table cells selected. I think that does work on Windows (though all I can really test is copying from LibreOffice Calc, as I don't have Excel). -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Staff AdamW Posted November 28, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi. We have a pending fix for the paste from Excel on Mac. You should see it fairly soon. Edit: Available now in Build 192. Please note that you have to select a (any) range of cells to paste into more than one cell. Patrick Connor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
