So apologies for publishing tables with columns you can't see. Unfortunately, some tables are just so packed with juicy numbers, that they don't fit on a normal screen.
I used to publish the tables as jpeg images. But I've swapped over to html tables instead. For a couple of reasons. For one thing, it makes the contents searchable. More importantly, it makes life easy for me when I'm putting my books together.
I've found a solution. An ugly, makeshift one, but one that works. I'll just have the tables in both formats. Click on the small image and you'll be able to see the table in all its full, mouth-watering detail.
I've already changed the last two large-tabled posts. The ones about Whitbread Porter and Stout. Take a look. Or failing that, the images below.
I like this. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice tables.
ReplyDeleteAre they from your new book?
Or am I gonna have to cut them out and stick them in the back?
What I do is to highlight the table, copy (control+c) and then drop it into excel (control+V). You can then see all the table columns, play with the format if you want to and print or save. I imagine most people are rather more computer savy than me, but there might be some little old lady who is also a beer historian, but not very good with these new fangled computer things.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I was going to mention that I couldn't see all the columns unless I cut and pasted, which ruins the formatting, but it seemed like a silly thing to complain about.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I want to create tables for an epub file. Jpg is needed. How did you manage to create tables in jpg format?

OQRM, I create the table in Excel, do a print screen, save the screen in paint and then trim to size.
