For example, you can copy-paste some data from Excell and use it directly without having to add all those \NC or \eTD\bTD inbetween. You can also use '&' as a separator and imitate LaTeX way of creating tables. Comments & feedback wellcome. Mojca Just as a warning: There are two bugs left: utf-8 handling (if you don't need TeX commands in the data, you can circumvent that by using quotechar=whatever) and the last cell in the row may not be empty (you can probably put a \strut there if necessary). (Two other bugs were fixed in Taco's version, but I didn't check if it is already part of the new distribution or not.)
