   Hi, I am not a code savvy. I am trying to copy/past an excel workbook directly into the WP editor. The data is posting properly, however I am having trouble trying to include the box lines around each box to cut and past as well. When I do the cut/paste, no lines transfer to the WP editor. Is there a way to include this with the simple cut/paste?

   How is the code being generated when you save it in wordpress. Is it using tables? Your theme may have a default behavior for display tables.

   Try to insert a generic table, and see if you have borders by default.

   This should do it:

   <table>
   <tbody>
   <tr>
   <td>This is a test data cell.</td>
   <td>This is another test data cell.</td>
   </tr>
   </tbody>
   </table>

   See if you have any borders there when you preview.

   Should this be put into the code prior to each "grid"?

   There are going to be excel workbooks throughout the site. Is this something that can go into the style sheet?

   Just FYI...This is that the page looks like at the moment...

   Yeah, the tinymce editor is a pain when trying to deal with tables.

   I think there is a plugin which lets you make nice tables, but you would have to re-enter the data from each table you are going to use.

   Hmmm... what about a nice resolution screenshot of the table... then just insert it as an image??

   Great idea Josh!...

   Screen shot will work and then offer a download of the file in PDF...

   Thanks!
