[wp-forums] Reopen Support Thread: Paste tables from Excel

[Stephen Edgar]

Can a moderator please reopen the following support thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-paste-excel-graphs-in-v-39

Technically WordPress has never had a 'Paste from Excel' button in the editor, in 3.8 and below was a 'Paste from Word' (which included partial support for pasting via Excel) and in 3.9+ it is now 'Paste as text' and TinyMCE v4 includes support for pasting text from Microsoft Word, Excel, Access etc.

The 'pasting tables' issue is being treated as a regression by WordPress and TinyMCE and are working to have a fix for WordPress 3.9.2.

Relevant WordPress Core ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27909

The fate of pasting graphs has yet to be determined...
