Actually, you can put backslash markers in the cell to the left of the text,
select both and copy and paste into Toolbox. Toolbox will convert the tabs
between the cells into spaces and place your text properly into the data
window.
If you want to import a whole database from a spreadsheet (with backslash
markers in the cells to the left), rather than just data into one record, it
is best to copy and paste the data into a text processor first and replace
the tab with a space and save as a file before importing it into Toolbox.
This is because when you try to open a file which contains tabs instead of
spaces, Toolbox converts the tabs to double spaces and each data line in
Toolbox will have an extra space at the beginning.
