Description Agnar Renolen 2024-03-01 10:27:45 UTC
I often need to copy and paste data from Web-pages into a spread sheet.

cell-11 cell-12 cell-13
cell-21 cell-22 cell-23
...

When pasted into the spread sheet, they end up like this:

cell-11
cell-12
cell-13
cell-21
cell-22
cell-23

What I want to secify, when pasting the text (paste special) is
that 

- newline (or row break) can be selected as a column separator.
- and that the pasted data has N (N=3 in this example) columns.

This would save me a bunch of time in many cases.

Adobe InDesign has this feature where you can convert text into tables.
