[pmwiki-users] Excel and CSV copy/paste into pmwiki?

[Russ Fink]

Tested this using OpenOffice 1.1.0 under Linux, and a FireFox browser - 
works.

The copy feature of ocalc (Excel knockoff) stores plain text separated by 
tabs in my cut buffer, and ignores column alignments.  The result is that 
all text pastes the same, so no bold/alignment or font information is 
conveyed.  Also, "WikiLike" words will expand to wiki tags.

This is a great feature.  Thanks (even though I'm not the original 
requestor).
