Please tell me how to create a table . . . am very frustrated

[linedadelas]

Hi all,

I am new to Xara and think it is a tremendous program - once you find out how to use it!

It seems not very intuitive. One of my biggest frustrations has been trying to add a table. All of the data is in a CSV file, but I cannot figure how to import it (Or copy and paste it so that it shows correctly, for that matter).

The table is a long one, comprised of baseball stats from a league. If Xara does not allow for easy creation, is there a free third-party resource that can be used to create the table online and then copy it to the webpage?

Thanks for the help . . .

I feel your pain.

This is what Xara offers (simplified):

• Insert Table
• Pick Table 09
• Ignore CSV file and open your List in Excel or
• Copy the rows of your List to the Clipboard or Google Spreadsheets
• Back in your Table (09), use the Text Tool and click in the fist top-left cell (not the Table Caption)
• Paste the data
• Xara will ask (HTML Format, Unformatted text)
• You must choose Unformatted text

I can just about manage to get Table 09 to accept a few hundred rows with a dozen columns but any slight mistake and Xara throws a wobbly.

For large data, I have to revert to https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...w-Table-Widget.
For very large data, I have to link to the data so you get dragged into coding a lot more.
