importing a table into a web page from office word

I love tables! Stands to reason of course, alignment freak that I am! But then, I do not love any old table, I like them to be really sleek looking as well. And the best place that I know of to create really cool tables is boring old Microsoft Word!

I have been looking at a lot of options for creating tables with CSS on various websites and one of the big problems that I find is that you are not really seeing what you are doing as you are fiddling around with the code. Unintuitive, in other words. Whereas with Word, obviously you do, you have full visual control. So, if you wish to put data into your website which needs to be shown as a table, a smart designer's way of going about it might well be creating the table in Microsoft Word (or it's Open Office equivalent) and importing it into the webpage from there.

Simply draw the table on a brand new document in Word, tweak it's appearance in any way that you like, then do a Ctrl+A to select everything on the page; come to blogspot, go to the "compose" tab (not HTML!) and paste the table into your post. The one above was made just like that.

And...  Tip, or rather a word of caution:  Do not even look inside the "Edit HTML" tab on the post editor since what you will see there may give you a righteous heart attack!  :-D
