Consider the following examples: Wikicode (showing table forces line-break)
See width examples on this subpage. There it is easier to narrow the browser window and not lose one's place as on a long page such as here on Help:Table.

Before pasting a list into Excel2Wiki (see above) you may want to remove a block of text. Some text editors can do this when text is set to a fixed-width font such as Courier New. For example; freeware NoteTab Light: Modify menu > Block > Cut. Fill in popup form with starting column, block width, block rows.
