    Default Copy and pasting MS Excel table to NOF web page .. is this OK?

    Hello,

    I have a client who wants to add a MS Excel table to the web site I'm
    creating with NOF 9. I know there were issues in the past when copying and
    pasting Microsoft DOC content to NOF which caused problems. Is it ok to
    copy a table in MS Excel and paste it to a web page? Were these compatable
    issues resolved with NOF 9?

    Thank you.
    Dave

    Hi Dave,

    It is not an issue of compatibility.

    Microsoft generates a ton of code bloat.

    So bad that pasting it into your web page will not only cause validation
    problems, but it can even corrupt your NOD file and trash your NOF site.

    Most all the HTML editors out there have filters to strip HTML formatting
    from MS documents.

    NOF can do the "Paste Unformatted" and that will allow you to bring the
    content into your site, then you can apply formatting as needed.

    Alternatively you could generate the MS stuff to a stand alone web page and
    then pull that into your site with an Iframe. That would at least keep all
    the junk from trashing your NOD file.


    Good luck on your projects!

    Charles

    you can paste tables without the bloated code by choosing paste special RTF

    then go to layout html and delete the code in blue

    on the layout property palette, click the html button

    then if you see any code in blue in the upper window, delete it from the
    lower text entry window
