I am trying to add a spreadsheet to my miniatures sale thread to keep my inventory straight. How do you format it to line up in nice rows and columns like Zenako's mini price posts? I can't get it to work on my own. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

try saving as 'Formatted Text (Space delimited)'
and change the font of your post to Courier New so all the letters (and spaces) are the same width.
'Text (Tab delimited)' might also work, depending on the width of your columns.
I hope this helps.

Export your spreadsheet as text file with spaces filling out each column, which I think is called "Formatted Text (space delimited)" in Excel.

Put the resulting text inside [ code ] [ /code ] tags in your post here on maxminis. You can also use [ size=# ] [ /size=# ] tags inside the code block in order to make the text smaller so it fits the width of the screen better if necessary.


Also, for future reference, if you want to see how someone did something in their post, just hit the reply button and the tags they used will be visible inside the quoted block.

Well, sort of correct anyway [:p]

You do actually have to use the CODE tags rather than just setting the font to something monospace, otherwise it won't be formatted correctly (at least when viewed with Firefox or Safari).

Correct, the
paste content here 
is all the trick I use, other than making sure that the most variable length entry is the last (the Mini Name) on the row.
