I'm struggling with Adobe Indesign - how to add tables into a frame. The table menu just doesn't work, in fact in never really seems to work. What am I doing wrong?


You are using InDesign for web pages? InDesign is for print layouts.]]> 09/02/04, 246 46 2004 2004:%i:1094150801 14:46:41 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/adobe_indesign_question/#p1248 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/adobe_indesign_question/#p1249 09/03/04, 247 51 2004 2004:%i:1094226694 11:51:34 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/adobe_indesign_question/#p1249 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/adobe_indesign_question/#p1250
First, Adobe has a great InDesign forum on it's site. Great place for your question.

Second, it's hard to know what you want to do. Place a Word doc with a table in it, and it automatically becomes an InDesign table. To change text into a table in InDesign, select the text with the text tool, then go to Table>Convert text to table... and select that. Your text becomes a table that way, and then the other commands can be used.

Once you have a table, you use only the text tool, both for selecting rows and columns and for text editing. It's a little confusing at first.

Hope this helps... ]]> 09/09/04, 253 54 2004 2004:%i:1094738047 09:54:07 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/adobe_indesign_question/#p1250 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/adobe_indesign_question/#p1251 Hello, I am a programmer/analyst using Oracle Financials 11i AR,AP, GL, and Cash Management, Developer2000 Forms and Reports, UNIX... etc....( I am a baby at this), I would love to learn more about web design and just don't know where to start.....
