The data is in a Excel sheet ...how do i import table data into the page...i went into the dialog box and seleccted the file but it said does not support format so i copy pasted the table into a word file....now i selected the file through browse in the import tabular dialog box...it asks for delimiter...what is that...anyways i selected tab and said ok and i see a small box with gibberish in it...what is going wrong?

A delimiter is something thats in between the data for example monkey:foo the delimeter is : although I have never done what you are doing I would do it like this:

1 . Save your excel file as a tab delimeted text file and import it from there with tab as your delimeter

OR

2. Save your excel file as a html file and edit or cut paste
it in dreamweaver.

Hope this helps.

regards,
Mark
