"Posting SIMPLE Tables"

Posted by RobertVA on 03-19-04 at 06:04z
It isn't pretty, but it's EASY.
  1. Open NotePad.
  2. Type"[CODE]" (without Quotation marks) on the first line
  3. Type your table using spaces to create columns.
  4. type"[/CODE]" (without quotation marks) on the line after your table.
  5. Copy ALL of your Notepad document to the clipboard.
  6. Paste your document into the message entry box in the forum.

Simple Example:

[CODE]
One Two Three
1 2 3
[/CODE]

Produces:


One Two Three
1 2 3

You will need to paste the table again if you preview the message though.

Many thanks Robert. Will give it a go with the distance & bearing list of airports around ksbp. Might be of use to someone and good practice for me in moving files around.

Andy

G,day Robert,
Tried out the system, it copied and pasted into the message entry box OK but the lists were all broken up. ie end of one row in the colums wrapped round into the next line. :(

I had four columns of unequal spacing with 35 rows in each column.

Too many columns? Spaced too widely to fit into the message box?
I didn,t post it as it looked a bit of a mess :)
I,ll keep fiddling with it and see if I can get a result, obviously it works, it is just my layout that must be incorrect.
Regards,
Andy

I can't say for sure. Might be an issue of your table being too wide or some Enters / Carrage returns getting added in when your'e not aware of it.

G,day Robert,
Thanks. That could be it, the "return", as I use the return key between rows, I,ll keep playing with it, narrowing the column spacing etc. and see what I get.
