I think that was my post - I was responding to someone who wanted to include
charts, i.e.histograms, pie charts etc in OPW.
Whilst the Excel/Clipboard/WMF works for charts it doesn't work for text and
figures, it just transfers everything at text without any formatting other
than tabs for columns.
My workround is to construct the table in RiscOS using Eureka and then
export it as a draw file.
I seem to remember there was a program in RiscOS called Tablemate, I just
wondered if anyone knew of an equivalent in Windows.
