Still doesn't work for me. See above post.

Method 1 was not working for 2 years, after working for 10 with no issues. That was the whole point of this thread. I'll try it again see if it works for me.

As you can see, maintaining column widths are difficult with the initial paste. (I just pasted and left as pasted.)

You can hover over the column and row boundaries until the cursor changes and adjust the sizes as needed. That makes it more readable.

Oh- I think you have to paste, post, then edit to get it to work. I'll examine further when I have time.

Below is the result if I use chatGPT to do the BBCode for me. I paste the table into chatgpt and ask it: "give me bbc table formatting with a nice header for this data that I can paste into a forum post:" and I paste the table there from google sheets. It preservers the hyperlinks. Oh, I forgot, that is the other major advantage over a picture. Hyperlinks work. I found this to be very easy, and it looks great.

In experimentation over the years, I have tried several methods. A plain copy/paste from Excel works well if there is minimal or no formatting. Methods 2 and 3 below work better if the spreadsheet involves formatting. Using Photoshop (or some picture processing software) yields the best result if there is a lot of formatting involved.

Method #1
Copy/Paste table directly from Excel into Post

Cue Maker	Cue	Grams	Ounces	Total As	Wt. Distrib.
Butt	Shaft	Total	Butt	Shaft	Total	Fraction	Butt	Shaft
Richard Black	Bushka	457	125	582	16.12	4.41	20.53	20 1/2	78.5%	21.5%
Led Zeppelin	457	113	570	16.12	3.99	20.11	20	80.2%	19.8%
Scott Gilmore	Classic Maple & Ebony	452	128	580	15.94	4.52	20.46	20 1/2	77.9%	22.1%
Wrapless	464	107	571	16.37	3.77	20.14	20	81.3%	18.7%
Texas	421	117	538	14.85	4.13	18.98	19	78.3%	21.7%
The Classic	459	110	569	16.19	3.88	20.07	20	80.7%	19.3%
Sunburst	403	117	520	14.22	4.13	18.34	18 1/4	77.5%	22.0%
Bob Meucci (Production Cue)	Meucci MO-3	468	98	566	16.51	3.46	19.97	20	82.7%	17.3%
William Ricard	Sneaky Pete	463	114	577	16.33	4.02	20.35	20 1/4	80.2%	19.8%

Method #2
(a) Copy from Excel (b) In Word, Paste Special>Picture (Enhanced Metafile) (c) Copy/Paste that directly into post

Method #3
(a) Copy from Excel (b) Paste into Photoshop from Clipboard using 300 ppi (pixels per inch) (c) adjust size to a 4" width (d) Save as a JPG

Since most things I produce have some or a lot of formatting, I have defaulted to Method #3.

You got a bunch of Scott's cues. Post a pic of your Toeboy.

I had Bill make a 3-piece since I used it for playing in bars around Houston at the time. I originally only used it for a break cue and used my Bushka Richard Black made as my main player. Due to work commitments, I was unable to play much in real rooms after the early-mid 90s. I've used that cue in many, many places (mostly bars) and it still plays like a dream. I still rotate it with the others when I play on my home table (purchased a 9' Diamond Paragon, delivered September 2020).
