TABLE-ify
Copy and paste tables from documents or the Web, hit TABLE-ify. . . and you've got the table in nice, clean HTML. Also, build your tables from scratch, just using tabs for columns, and TABLE-ify will make a clean, simple table for you.
Below is a screenshot of part of a table I found on the Web. It could just have easily been a Word Document or any other document you are able to highlight and < Ctrl > < C >.
When you paste the text it looks pretty messy. But select it all in HTMLRox, and after clicking TABLE-ify you get the code to generate this (look familiar?):

Table data copied and pasted into HTMLpage
Note that this is a very simple table, but that because of line breaks in a table cell, the copied TAB columns do not line up. In a more complex table this becomes a nightmare.
Table data after being selected and "TABLE-ified"
TABLE-ify will also take care to render HTML special characters and build HTML links from copied URLs.
