Copy Numbers sheet and paste into Mac Mail

I searched the forum and couldn't find a thread on this topic...

I'm another of the many recent Windows converts. I have an Excel spreadsheet I use to track information for a group. As it's updated, I would hilight the cells in Excel, cut, and then paste into an Outlook e-mail. It would go through just fine.

I tried to do the same thing with Numbers / Mac Mail. When I do a straight cut and paste, the data goes into the email, but loses its structure -- there are no columns. I tries 'paste as quotation' and 'paste and match style', but to no avail.

I ended up booting through Parallels to Windows, and brought Excel up and loaded the page. I can't remember how I cut and pasted it, but somehow I did get it from Excel to my MacMail message. The recipients told me, though, that the font was monstrously large.

Not everyone has Excel, and as far as I know, I'm the only Mac user...any suggestions on how I can easily get that info into my e-mail??

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Couple of options:
Use command shift 4 and draw around the table with the mouse curser ~ a png picture of your table will be on your desktop ~ use attach in mail and tick send windows friendly attachments too.

You could also save Numbers as pdf ( Under the print option) and attach that instead.
No doubt there are other ways.
