Tables plug-in or widget – one thing WP seems to be missing…
-
I have a WP site a friend set up for me hosted elsewhere, though have set up my site here myself. The one thing that was especially useful in the other site was a tables plug-in as below so you can integrate text and images.
I can’t see that WordPress has its own version and it is incredibly useful and makes articles (blog posts) all the more individual and professional. It could also be used as a spreadsheet though lacking the functionality of excel.
The ideal would be to be able to create a table as in this wikipedia example where data / text / links and images can be inserted by the creator and ordered by the user
Is there anything even remotely like this available and if not might something be on its way?
Thanks,
Tim

There have been changes made to the editor that have affected copying and pasting and retaining format. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/the-paste-as-word-button-has-been-removed-from-the-visual-editor?replies=8 See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/the-paste-as-word-button-has-been-removed-from-the-visual-editor?replies=8#post-1710525

Thanks for that – I’m not used to programming though so maybe you could clarify from those threads…
As an example what I initially need to change is the vertical alignment, so using <td style=”vertical-align:top;”>
I’m not clear on where to insert this though – I’ve just copied in the opening lines of the ‘text’ view below. Is it after the <tr>? Instead of it? Somewhere in the td width part?
Also do you have to do the same for every row?
Thanks
<table style=”height: 1072px;” width=”555″>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width=”37″>CHA</td>
<td width=”32″>PG</td>
<td width=”106″>TERM</td>
<td width=”102″>CATEGORY</td>
<td width=”229″>NOTE</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=”37″>50</td>
<td width=”32″>1</td>
<td width=”106″>Macguyvered</td>
<td width=”102″>Parlance</td>
<td width=”229″>See Macguyver</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=”37″>50</td>
<td width=”32″>2</td> -
Another Volunteer or Staff will have to assist you with this. I’m multitasking from my business and cannot focus on helping you create an HTML table.

style=”vertical-align:top;” goes into each td tag, so for example the first one would be:
<td width="37" style="vertical-align:top;">CHA</td> -
Thanks both – got that bit sorted though a few others bits still working through; suspect might just be the individual stuff to do with the template though
