Why cant I cut and paste an excel document on Whiteblaze and have it readable? It pastes, but when you preview it is garbage. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Let me know.

You can't put tables in normal threads.
Capture the desired table section with a graphic capture program like SnagIt (my favorite) and upload the jpg with your post.

Who says you can not cut and paste excel documents on to WhiteBlaze. I just did it. You have to make sure the forum that you are posting in has HTML code turned on. You can do this by going into the forum you want to post in and scrolling to the bottom of the forum and you should see a block like the one below. If it says "HTML code is on" then you can paste excel documents in the thread unless they are very large documents. Most of our forums have HTML code turned off for security reasons. In fact all the forums should have it turned off except the gear review forums and the article forums. You may find some that we missed in the past but those should be the only forums that have HTML code turned on.

I just went to the 'gear review' and it has the HTML turned off. Who can turn it on?
Make it a word doc, a pdf, or put it in a zip file. Admin (Attroll or SGT Rock) will probably change it for you so I have to go back and change what this originally said.
