I must be missing something here - how do I insert a table I've written in Word into a reply? Copy and paste removes all formatting and just puts all the rows on their own separate line.

 

I even previewed the post and it looked perfect but the minute I submitted it, wham, all the formatting was gone.
Tried colouring the different text but can't see how to do that either - anyone able to help please?

 

Sorry I don't do this too often but couldn't find any steps on how to do it when searching either 😕

Can you use a tool to convert to bbcode?

Way over my head, sorry - what kind of tool would that be? I was just trying to copy and paste and it looks perfect in the preview. Why would it not display the same when posted?

Sorry, but GZ does not support full rich text support. As per the codes below, only bold, strike-though & underline are supported.

 

As per the text above the reply box," You can use BBCode in the Quick Reply box. The following codes are valid: [b] [i] [s] [u] [url] [url=] [img] [youtube] [spoiler]."

 

 





Please keep this GZ community vibrant by contributing in a constructive & respectful manner.

I’ve similarly tried this and obviously had the same result! I’ve dealt with it by screenshotting the table and pasting as an image.

Screenshot is the best way here. I use the Windows snipping tool.

Ah d'oh, that explains it. I thought I was doing something wrong when it looked perfect in the preview!

 

Thanks for all the responses, I'll just paste an image in then (which I ended up doing).
