Hi Sharon,
If you find that this is a reoccurring task, I have a FrameScript script that allows you to select cells in a spreadsheet and corresponding cells in a FrameMaker table, and then copy the text from Excel to FrameMaker. If you are interested, please contact me offlist.

I was hoping someone had fewer steps. But it works and it?s only 40 or so tables.

In Excel, save the file as HTM. Open the HTM file in Word, and then save as DOC. Copy or convert from DOC file. Just a thought. Nadine _____ From: Sharon Burton <[email protected]> To: 'FrameMaker Users List' <framers at lists.frameusers.com> Sent: Monday, April 9, 2012 1:06:26 PM Subject: Copying in table columns in 9 OK, all, I have a question. I have a long document in Frame 9 full of tables. The client has decided they want to add one more column to each table with content. The source for that content is Excel. I want to copy the column from Excel into a new column in Frame. But the Copy won?t let me paste special into a table column, even if the column in the buffer is the same number of cells as the selected column. Thoughts? Workarounds? sharon Sharon Burton Content Strategy Consultant 951-369-8590 New book "8 Steps to Amazing Webinars" available on Amazon and BN.com <http://www.sharonburton.com/> www.sharonburton.com IM: sharonvburton at yahoo.com Twitter: <http://twitter.com/#%21/sharonburton> sharonburton <http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvburton> http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvburton _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as generic668 at yahoo.ca.
