Hello, hope this may be a easy question.

I'm trying to copy and paste from Excel into a paragraph element.
Here's what I tried if you would like to try it your self.

Copy Excel table and paste into SD paragraph element, it would not work and did not make a table and stripped all the formatting.

2nd Try
Copy the table in Excel and paste into CKEditor and then copy the source from CKEditor and paste it into a SD html element, (Works great and displays the table with formatting) what does not work is you have to edit the code inside the HTML element to make changes. So after doing it this way I hit Ctrl + P to view the page from SD in the browser and then copy the rendered table from Site Designer and try pasting that into a paragraph element with the same result all formatting is striped and the table is too.

Is there some way to do this?
Thank you

Hi Warren F,
Paragraphs cannot contain any block elements.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

If perhaps the wish is to have paragraph text wrapping around a spreadsheet table, the very simple method would be to make a screen-shot of the spreadsheet table and insert it with the paragraph wrapping around it as shown here.

I have a simple table on my sharing site, https://eikweb.com/sharing/ , check the group 'Other'. Don't know how complex Warren's table is, but if you can use what you find on my site, you're welcome to it.
Ha en riktig god dag!

Put your code on html page and use an iframe or use a php include, for dynamic content.
With these you would use and html element in SD.
