HELP: How to Post a Table

WSUCougar · 02-27-2004, 08:49 AM

I've run into this problem several times, and I noticed in Render's new dynasty thread that he is encountering a table-related issue as well. What I'd like to be able to do is post a simple table from a Word document (or converted into something else).

I have attempted to use the WSYWYG (or whatever it's called) editor setting, but all I get is a bunch of ">>" symbols in a table-shaped mess.

If anyone can assist, it'd be greatly appreciated. Please don't just say something like "Just use Saffarcus 3.2" or "convert it to Dingle format." A step-by-step walk through would be much more helpful. I have a lot of experience with Word, Pagemaker, and a few other things, but I am not familiar with HTML or any other web or programming applications.

Thanks in advance!

I've been able to copy and paste directly from Excel.

WYSIWYG

I have had problems with Word though. I have been doing my dynasty editing in FrontPage (into which I can copy and paste from excel), and it works like a charm. Check it out here, and take note particularly of the amateur draft reports.

WSUCougar · 02-27-2004, 09:04 AM

(Nice run-blocking effort by Mister York, by the way.)

Yeah....no kidding. He wasn't slated to start, but that cost the S.O.B. a few notches upward on my starter's playing time. He's been on the field for 13 plays in four regular season games, and is 0 for 0 in KRB. My starter (Pifer) is 5 for 10.

Ahh!

Thanks!

I feel so old fashioned with my "code" tags...

SkyDog (or anyone else, really) -
Why does WYSIWYG have issues with Word? I much preferred writing my dynasties up in Word back in the day, then pasting them over. Now it kind of garbles them, and I have to use Excel for tables. It's not that big a deal...I'm just confused as to why it can't handle Word stuff...

I asked this very same question about a week ago. Apparently Word adds some extra, unnecessary tags. I am now using Front Page to write up, copy tables via Excel, and paste the whole thing onto FOFC.

Easy Mac · 02-27-2004, 07:10 PM

You should use Open Office for word processing your dynasties. Its free and works exactly the same as word/excel without adding stuff.

The cool thing is copying from HTML, the tables copy right over.
