Jumbled tables when posting to forums

oldwiring

It drives me mad. I sometimes want to place data in a post to a forum. No matther how well I format it on the source- Excel or Word, it comes out all cramped and jumbled in the forum. For example see

How do I get round the problem

Hmm. Looks difficult, as when you submit the post it strips out any extra spaces.

The only workaround I can see is to insert characters where the spaces are -
underscores say - and then change the colour of the underscore chars to white.
Tedious, but it does work.
See below
A________B_______C
1________6_______8

Is actually these chars:

A________B_______C
1________6_______8

Thanks: I'll have to try that.
