I'm looking for a method to quickly create a Plain Text Table in the MS Office suite (e.g. a line would be replaced with the dash format "------" ? Creating a standard HTML supported table and then applying a conversion would suffice.

Thanks, F.

Wondering the whys of the emacs tag :) – Diego Sevilla Aug 30 '11 at 11:24
I know that emacs has some interesting plug-ins that support plain text table generation so I'm hoping that there is a simpler "windows" based conversion tool/method available. – Finbar Leahy Aug 30 '11 at 11:35

Create an Excel document with the data. That allows you to export the current sheet as HTML (not pretty).

An alternative is to copy the data into the clipboard (Ctrl+C) and use a small program which reads the clipboard as "text/html".
