I didn’t know that was an option. :-) I only see UTF8 on my Excel for Mac here. Does this mean I need to use Data Merge to get the table into InDesign?

Seems a clunky workflow and I don’t see how it would work in this case. These are annual report type tables and I need to place them as they are, not start naming columns / changing things to adhere to Data Merge limitations? Data Merge dislikes empty fields/cells in the first table row, correct?

When I do try placing the CSV file (UTF8) I get the error message “The data source file you selected either has no records or is not a supported file format. Please fix the file, select a file that contains records, or select a supported file type.” :-/
