ioneabee Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 what about converting it to a word doc and then pasting in here - haven't tried it - just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Use the editing mode button and it works, first symbol that looks like a light switch Edited December 27, 2012 by 350Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I think the ones Colin used to do for Wales were copied into a PDF and that was uploaded as an attachment. Again, I think ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 The item has been copied to Word and then pasted to the forum which it didn't like. Chris, yes Colin would have used a picture, but I'd like to keep it simple. I'll have a go at the lightbulb thing and see what happens. Cheers all.....

Wasso Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 In clicking the light switch thing all it does is take you into an alternative editing mode. Still can't get this to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Ian it is something that the admins would have to add [table] [tr] [th] etc etc....
