In InDesign, a table can corral text and graphic objects even when they’re only in visual alignment, not in uniform rows and columns. Tables are especially useful for text you change frequently. Take the slugs at the bottom of advertisements and other layouts. You change slug information almost every time it’s printed, and it’s much easier to edit something in a table than something in a series of text frames or, worse, something aligned with a complicated tabbing scheme.
The PDF we’ve posted shows you how to create tables that are beyond the ordinary. Just click the link “Extraordinary_Tables” to open the PDF file in your Web browser. You can also download the PDF to your machine for later viewing and printing.
To open the PDF, you’ll need a full version of Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader. We highly recommend version 7 or higher to view this PDF.
