I just used this to enter the mercurial magic table for DCC into my “rules campaign”and you saved me a ton of time and cut and pasting. Thanks!
For really long tables that have paragraphs in them, cutting and pasting from a pdf often causes issues. If I drop it into a word document, enter a ~ where I want each new line and then replace the paragraph markers with a space and then replace ~ with a paragraph market I get it right each time.
I can quickly do that with select and control-J in Fantasy Grounds but for really long tables search and replace in word works better for me.Last edited by Myrdin Potter; November 2nd, 2017 at 00:38.

Hello and well met! I have been using your very helpful tool to import shareable tables at Chartopia. They have formed an indirect partnership with Fantasy Grounds College to help cross promote one another. I have definitely been speaking with Rob2e as a fellow DM and ally in all these community driven projects... PLEASE keep this type of useful and creative tool up to date and visible!

In word I insert a ~ for each new line/paragrpah and then search for special character paragraph (^p) and replace it with a space and then search for ~ and replace with ^p. That is really quick for a column. I recently learned to hold alt when copying in a PDF to just get a column. I can do a hundred line table so fast now that you released this.
For pure text, cntrl-j is my friend.
I added a macro to a button on my mouse so tables in text boxes go fast. Remove line feeds via control-j and then the macro to choose table and then control-tab for each cell and maybe a control-= (supposed to be + but = works) to make a cell bigger. For really huge tables I have a macro.Ultimate License. Running Hyperborea and CoC. Asks lots of questions. Mgpotter.com.

Brilliant Celestian ... thanks a tonne!
FYI, I usually use a text editor like sublime_text for pasting from a PDF ... i can then use <ALT> + <SHIFT> + arrow up/down OR page up/down to have my cursor be in multiple row simultaneously. I do this to remove numbers and spaces that are on the front of many rows ... works great.
So PDF + sublime_text + this extension have made life SOOOOOO much better on setting up tables!

I could have sworn there was also an extension to import tables in story entries. No?
