Hi Sven
Putting it on the wiki seems like a good idea (even it it would be fixed
in 1.4 - I don't know).
The only real problem with adding stuff to the wiki is deciding where to
add it... or what to call the page if you're creating a new page.
Generally speaking, the pages are organized into groups, where we have
groups such as LyX/, Tips/ and Examples/. I'm guessing this belongs in
Tips/ so I've moved your text there.
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/CopyTablesFromSpreadsheets
In addition, it's a good idea to add a link to the special page in each
group that is used to list/describe pages in the group. Here, the page is
simply
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/PageList
so I've added a link to your page from that page.
If you're feeling really ambitious, you could go to the one of the pages
in the group FAQ/ and add a question/answer that simply links to your
page.
best regards

PS. As a sidenote, let me just mention that the way I used to create a
link to Sven's page from the PageList-page used the following markup:
T*Tips/{{copy tables from spreadsheets}}
which is called a "teaser" markup. It's a teaser because after the link,
a teaser text will be appended that is taken from the first link of the
page that is being linked to. As a result of this, thinks work out nicely
on the PaegList-page if the first line on each page is a nice description
of each page.
