Table field

[Richmond]

I have a table field containing some data I copy pasted from a spreadsheet

[being unable to find a reliable way to import data directly from a 
spreadsheet]

that runs across 3 columns.

When I tried this:

put column 2 of line 3 of fld "XXX"

I had no joy.

I would be grateful if someone could tell me how to extract data from 
individual cells in a table field.
