Pine,
I'm glad to hear VE had your back. This actually reminds me, there's a
feature we never really advertised in VisualEditor where a CSV file can be
dragged into the editor and a table is created from its contents.
Give it a try. And thank Ed Sanders for all things tables and Copy/Paste.

James,
I just want to say a public "thank you" for VE saving my sanity by doing
something that I didn't know was possible. I was able to copy a table
from
Word onto Meta using VisualEditor, and much to my
surprise it mostly
worked. I must have tried at least five other ways to get one of Cascadia
Wikimedians' annual plan tables copied from Google Docs onto Meta, all
with
poor results. While VisualEditor only copied part
of the formatting into
MediaWiki, the results were far better than anything else I had tried for
the past few hours. So thank you very much for supporting this
copy-and-paste functionality with VisualEditor.
