How to insert a file into a table?

[Rick Bilonick]

I used to be able to insert a text file into a table. But I can't do it
user 1.1.6fix1. I used to just insert the cursor in the upper left most
cell and do a file insert (as lines). When I try this, the text ends up
outside the table. Worse, there are large blank spaces between the lines
of text. I would like to put the data in a table or at least remove the
blank lines from the text. Any ideas on how to do this?
