The plugin only pastes the first 25 rows however. How can the default number of rows be increased without having to add them one-by-one? The latter option is unfeasible. And like the other bloggers, please make the plugin porthole bigger. I have managed to copy and past from MS Excel. The plugin only pastes the first 25 rows however.

What does that mean? How do I describe a spreadsheet in a way that creates it on the wiki in an editable form? I can't seem to copy and paste the file into the window, because it only seems to take text. I notice several others who have asked similar questions have not been answered.

Otherwise there is no way to revert to older versions if something goes wrong! This is evolving into a great and unique tool. Live Spreadsheet editing on a webpage. This is a powerful and much needed feature. Please keep up the good work on PBWiki, something this good HAS to catch on big... hope you are ready for it when it does!

When I move away from the page and return to it, a blank spreadsheet appears. Overall, I find the pbwiki platform terrific - keep up the good work.

Scrolling around within that little porthole is just not good. Tried changing some source code numbers that looked like they controlled the dimensions, but no luck.

We would like to use it as a global database that is editable. This way anyone can view or add to our fault log no matter where they are. 2 Things that could make this much better: 1) Ability to Lock the top row(s) so column titles can be seen while scrolling around. 2) ABility to resize spreadsheet (larger is better). At the moment this small viewport is not very friendly when looking at larger spreadsheets. This is potentially a really great tool. We would like to use it as a global database that is editable.

All I get is a green box - no spread sheet. Do you ever answer these? Nice idea.
