The Insert Table dialog box lets you format an ASCII text file as a table. It appears when you insert a text file into your HTML document and choose Convert to Table... from the dialog box that appears. Converting Text Files into Tables provides step-by-step instructions.
The dialog contains the following items:
If each line in your text file contains one item, you want to treat each line-ending as a cell. In this case, you need to specify how many columns should appear in your table.
If each line in your text file contains multiple items and you've separated them into columns with tabs, spaces, or some other character, you want to treat each line as a row.
You can place a border around the table and you can specify how much space should appear around each item.
