Why all the Copy & Pasting? Publish the Google Sheet to the web & place it in a placeholder. It remains as text, hyperlinks work, and amending it in Google Drive is all thats required, no need to open Xara & repulish etc

Re: Tables
Or export your MS-Word table as a web page and copy the source code into the <head> section of a placeholder (Utilities/Web Properties/Placeholder/Replace with HTML cod/HTML code (head)). Now the table will render with selectable text and not as a graphic. The only thing I forgot is what additional code is needed to position it where you want it on the page. Perhaps someone else can help with that.

Sometimes, just sometimes, people don't have MS Office anchania or Googlies access.
We need native Xara tables.
@Boy - I would never use MS web page code into anything; it is too brutal.
One would Copy from Word or Excel and Paste > Paste... > Rich Text Format.
Also, the Head is the wrong area as you then get display text/code in the HTML header, which is not a good place to be.

The downside to that is, as mentioned in post #10, that the table is being rendered as an image, so that's why I suggested this approach. But I'm sure that you're right that MS web page code is not the best route to go.@Boy - I would never use MS web page code into anything; it is too brutal.

I must say that I was a bit lazy when I suggested that because I hadn't used this option for quite some time and had forgotten that you can take parts of the MS web page code and insert it into the body section of the page and have the table rendered exactly how and where you want it on your web page. Again, I agree it's not the best way to include tables in your design but it is an option.Also, the Head is the wrong area as you then get display text/code in the HTML header, which is not a good place to be.

Boy, the RTF approach puts colour, fonts and sizes all at editable text and colour.

Re: Tables
But the table is rendered as an image when the web page is published, and that was the downside mentioned by Dijenga.
Re: Tables
Did you try ungrouping the table?

Re: Tables
Thank you all for your suggestions. I tried out the WORD and Excel ones but found like others did, that I couldn't edit the table very well. And I couldn't seem to get links working on any of the ones I tried.
It's the only table like that on any of my sites I re designed it.
I did find the tables on WebPlus fiddly, but until Xara Web Designer has them I won't bother again. I suppose you could create a table on Excel or Word and save as a .pdf but I wanted it to link with a Googlemap. Thanks again for all the heal.
