Pasting and dragging text to a table


    You can easily copy or drag text from Web pages, text files, or documents in third-party applications and add the text to tables in GoLive.

To copy and paste blocks of text:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • In GoLive, select the text that you want to copy, and choose Copy from the context or Edit menu.
    • Copy a block of text from within another application.
  2. In GoLive, place an insertion point in a table cell, and choose Paste from the context or Edit menu.

To drag text:

    In GoLive or a third-party application, select the text you want to copy and then drag it to an empty table cell in GoLive.

To copy and paste text from either an Excel spreadsheet or a table in a third-party application:

  1. In Excel or other third-party application, select and copy the cells you want to paste.
  2. In GoLive, select the cell that you want to be the upper left corner cell of the content you copied in Excel, and then choose Paste from the context or Edit menu.
  3. The copy appears in the cell, and all columns to the right and rows below the selected cell. The table creates additional rows and columns as needed to include all of the information that was copied.

    Note: If a table is selected instead of a table cell, space-separated data in columns replaces the table. You must select the table cell in the upper left corner of the table or select all cells in the table to paste the Excel data into all cells of a table.
