How to Convert Tab-delimited Text Into HTML Tables
1. First off - in Excel, (or any spreadsheet,
or any program that you can create text
separated by tabs), you start with a section of cells:

want to convert to an HTML Table.
Then copy to the clipboard.

you want the table to begin, choosing 'Paste':

 4. This, or something similar is what you will get (don't worry
about how the alignment looks - if the original text was
done with tabs, it should come out all right.
