Well, for the sake of discussion: There may be cases where the table data is constantly being updated or it is a lot, and the LaTeX or LyX files need to be regenerated many times; then, the task of creating tables in LyX using copy and paste may be impractical. For these cases, procedures and tools those are more automated would be quite helpful as Eberhand suggested. Of course, quick fixes like the ones that have been recommended in the group would suffice for one or two times of creation of tables, and we use these methods on daily basis. Bests, Baris
