CMS Made Simple Forums

Dear All

I am using the current version of CMSMS 1.0.2  .   I am trying to paste a long table from a word document and it either dosen't show up the last few lines of the table or on another table it throws the footer all out of format. 

I am not using the Word cleanup as this distroys the table borders and format.  It seem to be ok if it is a smallish table but once the table reaches a certain length it starts to play up.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to why or how to fix this problem as I have quite a few of these tables to put it on different pages.

Thanking you in advance

Regards

I think you should make a look at html source code of your page - have fun (Word produces a very uggly html source per default)

Which word version do you using? Have you tried to export your table as html before?

Perhaps it would helps if you export the word formatting as css and include it in CMSms Stylesheet.

There are various tools for stripping out all the style information from Word HTML. This will definately be worth doing. You could also try running the remaing code through HTML Tidy - just to make sure it is correct before pasting into your web site. You can format the table using CSS and don't forget table accessibility.

Please note that this is not a failing with CMS MS, but merely what Word produces.
