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)

Thank you.

Dropbox StaffOkay I tried it in another browser, and then in incognito mode. Same result (see screenshot). The first screenshot is pasted directly from excel (no numbers). The 2nd screenshot I copied from opening the same CSV file within dropbox (it used to paste correctly and include the line numbers as well).

Hey KarenSW, sorry to jump in, but I just wanted to mention that I just tried this on my end and it's working normally for me too.
Can you clarify how exactly are you copy-pasting this part of your csv file into your table in your Paper doc?
As a test, could you try with another file and/or another Paper doc to see if you get any different results?
Keep us posted!
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 .. ?
