Copying large data sets into tables

[rebecca officer]

Hi Andy
 
If it isn't a complicated table layout, just convert it to paragraphs in Word, paste the text into FM and convert it back into a table.
 
Cheers
Rebecca

Hi
 
Does anybody know if there is a quick way of copying large sets of table data from a Word doc into a FrameMaker 10 table?
 
I've tried copying straight from the clipboard (Windows 7) but FrameMaker reports "No table cells on the clipboard." I'm guessing that this means that FrameMaker is expecting to be pasting from one FrameMaker table to another FrameMaker table. I've also tried copying via Notepad but I get the same result.
 
Surely there must be a way of importing table data from outside of FrameMaker.
 
Any ideas?
