Filling tables

Post by rjbull »

You know how it's possible to fill a table with cells copied from a spreadsheet, with spreadsheet cells mapped one to one onto cells in a table?

1) I think this could be made a bit clearer in online Help, which doesn't mention spreadsheets. It does say "If the clipboard contains whole table cells, and you select one or more cells in the target table, then choose to paste, each selected cell will be replaced one-for-one by the cells from the clipboard." However, it doesn't say what distinguishes one cell from another, that is, what characters tell Atlantis the clip contains cells rather than a single text block?

2) Table filling works with a clip from a spreadsheet. Please can it be extended to also work with plain CSV, so I don't have to import the CSV into a spreadsheet first, then copy it from there?

Thanks...
