Reply To: Importing tabular content into a prebuilt INDD table

Hey there,

Have you tried selecting all of the cells in your INDD table and then pasting? If you only have one cell selected then you will end up with that nested table business.

If that doesn’t work, consider pasting the table into an excel spreadsheet, copying it from there and pasting into InDesign. I have had some luck with that in the past. Using this method will likely destroy existing formatting but setting up a proper table style should make that pretty painless to deal with.
