Yes to both questions!
Well you probably want to know how to do this too, isn't it? :)
You have to create first a tabular with exactly 120 rows and 5 columns.
Set the longtable option in the table->layout-menu so it splits automatically
on more pages.
After that put the cursor in the first table cell and use:
Import->Insert Ascii File->As Lines
Select your file and click ok and you're done :)
Obviously the file has to be in a tab-separated-value format!!!
This means something like this:
data first cell<tab>data second cell<tab>...<tab>data 5 cell<return>
data first cell<tab>data second cell<tab>...<tab>data 5 cell<return>
...
data first cell<tab>data second cell<tab>...<tab>data 5 cell<return>
Hope this helps!
Ciao Jürgen
