How tables paste into Front
Depending what program you are using to create tables, pasting a table into a Front email will look different. Below you will see the differences between Numbers, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets.
Numbers
All formatting created in Numbers will copy over into Front. You do not need to add gridlines.
Excel
All formatting will be removed from a table created in Excel. Your content will appear in a table, but style and gridlines will be stripped.
Google Sheets
All formatting created in Google Sheets will copy over into Front. You will need to add gridlines in Google Sheets in order for them to appear in Front.

HI there,
I've tried this with both Google Sheets and Excel and all formatting is lost, including tabs/spacing. -
Ah - I just found the preferences setting with 'do not preserve formatting'. All fixed :)
