(Archived) why is the table is weird?

[FinancialWar 1]

The table function, every time I type something, it pushed the column back into the next column. Why is that?

 

Coming from Excel using, this is so weird.

Evernote isn't Excel - and its general table handling has been the cause of a few comments here...  (!!)

 

Workaround - keep an Excel file attached to the same note and change the Excel sheet,  then copy/ paste the content into the body of the note and re-save the file.

Yep, Evernote tables are very limiting, and they are HTML tables, so you really can't expect them to work like Excel.  :-)

 

I have found the best table work-around is to create a table in Word (NOT Excel), format it and set it up to work as you like.

This can include fixed-size columns and row and/or fit-to-content col/row.

Then copy only the Word Table (NOT the file) into an EN Note.

 

I use this technique often for creating EN "templates".
