I was recently had a client ask if it was possible to paste Microsoft Excel content directly into Drupal and for the life of me I could not answer that question. I've typically pasted content from Microsoft Word or other text editors, but had never tried pasting Excel content. So, is pasting Excel rows and columns into Drupal possible? After a little research and some trial and error, the answer is yes!

Here are the simple steps:

1. Download and install WYSIWYG module from Drupal.org if you don't already have it installed.

I have been eagerly awaiting March 19, 2009 for several months now. New album being released? No. Criterion Collection DVD of one of my favorite films coming out? No. New movie hitting the theatres? Nope. I’m was finally going to get the giant thorn removed from my side.

Although Firefox has had tons of success with these particular users, it was inevitable that a competitor would come onto the scene. Unfortunately, that competitor is Google, with the recent release of Chrome, their incredibly hyped new browser.

The first commercial starring Bill Gates, Jerry Seinfeld and the $10 million endorsement from Microsoft came out yesterday.

Bloggers, mostly confused and troubled by Bill Gates and his butt shake, have already started bashing the commercial. I was lost when the onlookers asked, "Is that The Conquistador?" What? Also, why is everyone in the commercial eating a Churro? Is Microsoft moving to Mexico in order to offer discount prices on computers?
