To clarify, yes, the problem in copying any range of rows and columns
from Excel and then trying to paste them into a field is that tabs are
not preserved. I am trying to paste from Excel, to Rev. It works fine
pasting from Rev to Excel. This is on Windows. I was keeping my fingers
crossed this would be rectified in 2.9.
To clarify by example, what you end up with in pasting from Excel to Rev
is no separation character of any kind, so you simply get a run of text
concatenated together.
--------- Example
For example a spreadsheet with the following (tabs to show columns)
Hot Blue Red Almond
...results in this when pasted into a Rev field:
hotblueredalmond
If one pastes into NotedPad first and then into Rev, the proper
formatting returns.
-----------
Checking the clipboard to do something simple like replace tab with
(pick a delimiter) does not work. I thought of that as well Jim, but no
go, the tabs just do not appear to be there.
Perhaps it is a flaw with the internal clipboard of Excel. However
Notepad seems to be able to handle it fine as does pretty much any other
text editor on Windows.
I'm not sure this would be a bug per se as long as this is not really
Rev's problem. It is however really annoying, perhaps it becomes a
feature request?
I would think this would potentially impact any developer trying to come
up with a solution that interfaces with Office products.
