table.el problem

table.el problem

[Sebastian Luque]

Dear List,

I've recently begun using table.el (version 1.5.54, bundled in 
emacs-goodies-el 24.6-2) in my Debian box. The problem is that whenever I 
insert a table, characters get inserted backwards in any cell. Has anybody 
experienced this?

Nope.  How about some verbose examples that we can try...

Walk us through what you are doing, so we can do the same thing and see what
happens.

Ok, first of all, making sure that emacs-goodies-el is installed, and that 
(require 'table) is in .emacs, type M-x insert-table. Answer the questions 
regarding cell width/height, and number of columns/rows. Now try inserting 
some text into cells. In my case, characters get inserted backwards. I 
haven't customized anything in that package. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

In my previous message (quoted below) I meant M-x table-insert. Sorry.

Where can I get emacs-goodies.el?  I have table.el, and it works fine
stand-alone.  I can get emacs-goodies and try it then.

Nowhere. He said "emacs-goodies-el", not "emacs-goodies.el".
emacs-goodies-el is a Debian package full of usefull elisp-packages for
emacsen. table.el is included in that package.
