Soppy (dynasty related) question

[Roberto]

Can anybody point me at the instructions and/or the formula to make tables copied into messages appear as correctly spaced tables?

It's so long since I contributed to a dynasty that I've forgotten what they are and cannot find my old notes.

This is how the table should not appear :( - copied from Wordpad without any formula.

Player # Pos Elig Current Estimate Future Estimate
Galloway, Jerry 17 QB Sr* 23 60
Lloyd, Peter 14 QB Fr 26 97
McKnight, Jorge 16 QB* Sr 37 65
Chiba, Broderick 12 QB* Sr 34 73
Radigonda, Sean 9 QB* So* 3 25

(Though even from this mess, methinks Peter Lloyd will be a future star).

hmmm, the code-tag doesn't seem to work anymore...

[Roberto]

Thanks for trying, MIJB#19, but I agree that your original suggestion didn't work.

Any bells ringing with anybody else?

I did the spacing in Notepad with the Courier font (all characters are same width), then pasted into code tags.

Use Notepad.

The code tags still work.

Beat ya!

[Izulde]

Beat ya!

:p

[Izulde]

dola,

I'd probably redshirt Lloyd myself.

Drat!

Pasted from Notepad with courier font and then added the "code" instruction

What have I done wrong?

Actually, you need the "[" brackets around code rather than "<" brackets.

That's it! Cheers, Kodos.

And it works with headings too
