Can't that I know of. You can copy the text and paste it, format gets screwy, but the data shows up. Another way is to capture a screen shot of it and upload the jpg.

There are a few other options, but none that allow you to post/view in a thread/post.

Why not export it as tab delimited text to preserve the format?

Good idea, but my experience is that extra spaces whether single or "tabs" are lost when posted <-- added 15 blank spaces here.

its a spreadsheet with injector info. I would like to be able to update it as members supply more info. I guess my best bet is to find someone to host it and simply make a link to their site.Thanks

well, even as a tab delimited file, it shows up badly in notepad. I can save it as a web page (html) but I still would need a host.I assume only pic files can be uploaded to the member rides section.

Read Jesda's sig.

He and elwesso have been most helpful, but ultimately it would be nice if it were on both or on NICO and linked to q45.org :D.

Excellent.OK guys, I'm getting the hint. Jesda and Wes provide FREE webhosting for NICO members.

Wes, youve got mail. And I'm gonna email Nick to see if the "Article Manager" can upload it.
