Pasting data from Excel into a paper table pastes them into a single cell
For the past year this has worked flawlessly:
* copy rows from excel spreadsheet
* paste those rows into my premade Paper table (current selected cell becomes point for creating new rows)
...
Ticket #17189877
Thank you.
When I copy the lines from my excel program and paste it directly into the paper table it works just fine (other than leaving out the line numbers).
However when open the CSV from within dropbox and highlight and copy the lines (see pic), then paste it into the dropbox table - it pastes them all into one cell, unformatted. I have been doing this for over a year with no issues. I am not sure if its because shipstation has made changes (that is where I download my CSV from). But isn't a CSV a CSV .. ?

In the meantime, can you let us know how are you pasting those entries into your Paper doc? For example, are you using shortcuts or the right click options?
If you're using ctrl+V to paste, can you try ctrl+shift+V instead and vice versa?
CTRL-C / CTRL-V (copy/paste)
Like I mentioned .. I have been doing this for almost a year. Once in awhile it would paste all the data into the first cell so I would go back and copy it again and it would work. Now it does it every time.
"can you try ctrl+shift+V instead and vice versa?"
I'll try this today, thanks.
When I did ctrl+shift+V it did paste with the numbers included (unlike before), however its still all in one cell.
The way I am doing this in the meantime is I copy it from within excel, paste everything into the 2nd column, then manually add the numbers to the first column one at a time. A bit inconvenient but it's all I can do.
