Text into table????

Most do. After all, I'm a freelancer so what else do you call it if you want
to be honest? I've always figured that any client who had a problem with it
would be a problem for me to work with.......

For years my business card has simply read:

Good one! I'm going to have to try to remember that when it comes
up again.

You da man, Murr.

So, what you will have to do is to PUT the text into a table, then
convert the table to text (with commas, or tabs, or whatever as a
field delimiter), then save the file as a TEXT file with an
extension of CSV. Dreamweaver can now import this as tabular
data....

I just got a new computer, so it's Office XP version. I still
can't find any option for text or comma separated file, but there
is an html option. When I tried that, it worked on some things
but not on others. Kind of frustrating, cause there should be
some way this could work. I'll keep fiddling with the options
and maybe something will work.

What WOULD work is if they would simply create all these things
in tables in the first place, but they are so computer
illiterate that they don't even know what a table is, much less
how to use one, so they space or tab over, and it makes a mess
when you have to try and format the stuff so it actually looks
nice on a web page.

Which Word? Use File | Save As... and select the appropriate
format from that list, I believe.

Wow...well it appears that the first problem is that from Word
I don't find any way to export the data into anything. ???

MX was not so good with Word files.

If it were DMX2004, I'd say just create a new page, use
FILE | Import Word Document and be done with it (after some
good proofreading).
With
MX,
you
may need to preprocess the Word document by exporting the
text
into
a
comma
separated file and importing it.

I do maintenance on several websites. The problem seems
to
be
that
when
they send the information, whether in an email or as an
attachment (usually Word), there is a problem with things
that are indented, for instance:

September 4, 2004 Festival of Trees, 6pm to 8pm
Contact Sr. Teresa
September 10, 2004 Friendship Day, 3pm to 4pm
Contact
Fr.
John


When you try to put information like this into a DW page,
is
there
any
way
to bring it into a table so that the margins line up
neatly??
I
can't
seem
to find a way to do this. I have to laboriously cut and
paste
all
the
fields into a table, and it takes up a lot of time.

Anyone know a slick way to convert data like this into a
table???

Erm, guys ... would it be too much work for you to at least _slightly_
shorten your postings? Having to download nearly 200 lines with every
post just for 3 lines of new text on top of that is not really funny,
neither for the server, the net nor the readers.
