putting data into a table

[Rich Lague]

Can I just somehow paste a tab-delimited text file, (saved that way in 
Excel), into a table field? When I try this all the data goes into the 
first cell--there is no recognition of the tabs so that data is put 
into different cells on the same line. There is also no recognition of 
the returns so that new records are placed on the next line.

Is there a manual way to paste the file? Is there a way to do this with 
a script?

Thanks!
