The arrow keys let us navigate, or we can click where we want to type. Sometimes someone will give us some moderately-organized, maybe tabbed, text which needs to be a table. But the thing a lot of people are enthused about is the fact that we can import tables from at least a couple of other programs, namely Word and Excel. Again, we have to start with a text frame. And if someone wants to create a Word-based version for InDesign, it should be the sole item in there. You can also copy and paste tabbed text across a selection of table cells.
This technique is a great way to replace content while preserving formatting. For example, suppose you want to update the content of a formatting table in a monthly magazine. One possibility is to link to an Excel spreadsheet. However, if your content comes from a different source, you can copy the tabbed text containing the new content, select the range of cells in the formatted InDesign table, and paste.
You can add text, anchored objects, XML tags, and other tables to table cells. The height of a table row expands to accommodate additional lines of text, unless you set a fixed row height. You cannot add footnotes to tables. Position the insertion point in a cell, and type text. Press Enter or Return to create a new paragraph in the same cell.
Press Tab to move forward through cells pressing Tab in the last cell inserts a new row. If the row in which the graphic is placed is set to a fixed height, a graphic that is taller than the row height causes the cell to be overset.

See Create running captions for figures and tables. The Skip First option is especially useful if you want to indicate that the header or footer is continued. You can move table rows and columns from one position to another within the same table.
Select the row or column you want to drag-and-drop to another row or column. Make sure, the whole column or row has been selected. Partially selected rows or columns cannot be drag-dropped.
Hover over the selected rows, a unique cursor indicating that the selection can be moved is displayed. The item row can be dragged and dropped. You can swap columns with rows. A dragged row only drops as a row, and a dragged column drops as a column only. Here, moving a row from one location to another keeps the total count of rows same as before, three only. To duplicate a row or column , press or hold the Alt Win or Opt Mac key after selecting a row or column. Multiple continuously selected rows or columns can be dragged-dropped.
Drag-and-drop the selected row or column to the intended position. The total count of rows or columns increases as the selected entity has been duplicated. Likewise, body rows can also be duplicated and converted to header and footer rows. You can copy and paste rows before or after a selected row. Legal Notices Online Privacy Policy. Buy now.
