Table blues

[magicgenie@adobeforums.com]

I'm using CS2 OSX

I've created a table, it looks lush, but I wanna use the same table on many pages, just slightly modified, I have a large Microsoft Word doc with tables in and I just can't seem to be able to copy from the word doc and paste the table into my table in Indesign.

Please God, surely I don't have to copy and paste 50 seperate bits of information one at a time from word to Indesign, cell to cell :-(

Hope to hear from you, thanks for reading, kind regards
Alex

Why not just place it instead?

If your problem is formatting, then you might want to look at a script
from Dave Saunders:

Or the Table and Cell Styles plugins from [url]www.teacupsoftware.com[/url].
