Tabs as spacing elements do not work, just spaces. There used to be a macro available on one of the boards that would take part of an Excel spreadsheet and format it for posting using the <pre> and </pre> tags, but I do not know where it is off the top of my head. I think a quick(ish) way would be the following: • Copy the portion of the table and paste it into Word. A landscape format is good as the width of a single line is larger that way. • Convert all the text to a monospace font such as Courier. • Find and replace all tab characters with 3-5 spaces. • Touch up the columns. • Copy the result and paste into a posting window using the <pre> tag at the front and the </pre> at the end. • Preview the message and edit as necessary. That's what I have done in the past, at least. Cheers, Jim
