Working with tables

You can easily create sophisticated tables in InDesign—making

your own from scratch, converting imported text into tables, or placing styled

Word and Excel tables. Tables can ow across multiple pages for easy editing

and automatically include headers and footers. Extensive formatting options,

including alternating ll and stroke controls, enable you to ne-tune the nal

design of your tables, and you can create table styles and cell styles to quickly

and consistently format tables and cells.

In InDesign, tables are always

anchored in a text frame. To cre-

ate a new table, select the Type tool,

place the text cursor inside a frame

or create a new text frame, and then

choose Table > Insert Table.

e Insert Table dialog box lets you

specify the number of rows and col-

umns for your table. However, you

can later make the table larger or

smaller by placing the text cursor

inside the table and using the options

in the Table panel.

By default, the inserted table lls the

width of the container text frame. If

you make the frame smaller, the table

remains visible outside the frame.

Tables ow with surrounding text,

just like anchored objects. Each cell

in an InDesign table is similar to a

text frame of its own, into which you

can place text, graphics, and other

tables.

You can adjust each column width

and row height in a table by dragging

the dividers with the Type tool.

Converting text to tables

InDesign provides a number of ways

to turn text into tables and tables

into text. For example, you can

import tab-delimited text les from

a spreadsheet or database, select the

text with the Type tool, and choose

Table > Convert Text To Table.

Importing tables

You can import a table from a

Microso Word or Excel document

like any other text le. Select Show

Import Options as you import the

data to ne-tune the imported data.

If you copy tabular data from Word

or Excel, you can paste it into an

InDesign table by placing the text

cursor in the upper lemost cell you

want to populate, and then press-

ing Esc (to select the cell itself) and

choosing Edit > Paste.

reading tables

Because tables are anchored in

text, InDesign lets you thread them

across multiple text frames, making

it easy to work with lengthy tabular

information. You can set up running

header and footer rows that appear

at the top or bottom of the table on

each page. To convert a normal row

to a header row, select it with the
