I need to create a table with one column of code samples that use a <pre> tag (among other columns with regular text). I've got a spreadsheet (google sheets) with all the text and code samples in regular text configured properly. When I copy the code samples into a new Flare table (paste as table), the extra spaces are removed automatically from the code samples.

Question: Is there an easy way to copy a column of code samples into an existing table so that the extra spaces in the code sample text remain?

Right now, I am copying the code sample text from the spreadsheet into the XML editor <pre> tag. I have hundreds of tables, and there are thousands of cells with code samples. It seems like there must be a way to copy into Flare without those spaces being removed.

Thanks for your help.

I realize the thread title I entered isn't exactly right. I know I can select all the cells of a column and apply a style. The real problem is keeping the preformatted text when copying code samples into Flare.
