Reply To: Tables – 5 columns become 3

Hi Alistair

I haven’t used liquid layouts but it feels like that should work. My only other suggestion is a bit of a hacky way, which may work if your table cell contents are fairly straightforward. Having a cell delimiter that isn’t part of your table contents is the main thing – you have a choice of tab, comma or paragraph but I only verified it works using Tab.

1. convert the table to text, using Tab (or your choice of delimiter) for _both_ row and column separator
2. convert the text back to a table, using the same delimiter for both row and column separator – as long as the separator for columns and rows is the same it will ask how many columns you want

Not particularly clean, but it will handle inline or anchored images and quick if it works.
