Fixed width fonts

If you have the table formatted using a fixed width font you can paste it into a post and then use the 'code' tag around it, which should keep the formatting.
For example:
For example:
Code:
Cardiff 10 7 2 1 22 8 23 14
Birmingham 10 5 3 2 14 11 18 3
Burnley 10 5 2 3 18 12 17 6
Preston 10 4 5 1 11 8 17 3
C Palace 10 5 2 3 13 11 17 2
Southampton 10 4 4 2 15 11 16 4
West Brom 10 4 4 2 14 10 16 4
Plymouth 10 4 4 2 15 12 16 3

Hull City 10 2 2 6 8 14 8 -6
Sheff Wed 10 4 5 6 10 7 -4What was the exact wording of the error message?
Are you putting html into the post?
If you are that will cause problems.
All I did was posted the text into a post, then put the code tags around it.
Which program is the table coming from?

Error message is: The text that you have entered is too long (10373 characters). Please shorten it to 10000 characters long. And in 'preview mode', it displays everything in one long verticla line
No html
From Word - which I suspect is the problem.
There's no way something that small should be over 10,000 characters. Word adds a load of junk in the formatting, which isn't needed.
Try copying from word and pasting it into notepad, then copying it from notepad into the forum. Putting it into notepad first should get rid of all the excess characters.

I thought of that and did it while you were replying. The spaces between the figures all disappear.
Can Word save it as a plain text file?
If it can, try that, open it in notepad, then copy from there to put onto the forum.
Just tried my last suggestion and it didn't work, it won't save the text format properly.
What I've also tried which did work is to copy the table from word to Excel, then from Excel into the forum, soi if you have Excel that would be the easiest way. Although I suspect if you have Excel you'd have used that to create it in the first place!

Does it work from Excel then? That was the first think I tried with no success.
Yes. The one I posted earlier in this thread came from Excel.
Can you email it to me and I'll have a look at it.

This is how it turns out when I copy-and-paste from Excel:

I was having exactly the same problem earlier in the year with the ungoogleable music quiz league table.
Despite your help then Jeff I sill couldn't get it to work. I ended up having to host the file with an external link to it
