Default Re: [Dixonary] Question

Efrem,

I'm not using a spreadsheet (in my case it would be Quattro Pro, not Excel).. I'm using a WordPerfect table. To be honest, I don't even understand the spreadsheet terminology!

Judy,


When I want to e-mail stuff from an Excel table, I use its Concatenate operator (&) in a formula that connects strings in different columns into a single string in one column of the same row, adding whatever punctuation seems appropriate between items. Then I can paste that column with no formatting issues.

When I deal, I copy and paste an MS Excel table directly into the compose screen on the Google Groups website for the results, and it retains the table formatting. However, I don't know whether it works if you're posting the results by email.

Yes, but I'm not sure that it makes much difference from what I'm reading in the "reveal codes." The codes for the table are still there. Once this round is finished (this evening) I'll see what happens when I use the WordPerfect table.

Does WP have a table-to-text function, by any chance?

I understand that, Steve. See my reply regarding copying and pasting the WordPerfect document.

Which is to say:


1. Select the appropriate text.
2. Copy the selected text (Ctrl-C in Windows)
3. Paste the copied text into the message (Ctrl-Insert in Windows)

Have you tried pasting from the .pdf?

Johnny,


I create the list (actually, a table) in WordPerfect and can then convert to .pdf. It appears that I can't paste the .pdf in a message, but I can convert the .pdf to a .jpg and paste that. I could try that, and if it doesn't work...retype everything into a message. Copying and pasting the text from the WordPerfect file doesn't work well.

Judy

if you have to create the list in pdf you can create it anywhere. If you use Acrobat just copy and paste into a message - I personally would be negative to a file because of the extra work and expense it would cost me to un-pdf it
