Hi Mans,
If you would like to create a lot of tiddlers from a spreadsheet, there's a
simple method - put 'dummy' columns between your actual columns and fill
them with the right json delimiters, paste the whole sheet as text into a
file and save it and then drag it into TW. I can show you an example if
you're interested.
Regards,
Richard
