    Hi, I do some complex (in looks) tables that are large so use a small point size to fit on a page. Is there an easy way to export these from InDesign to Excel and not have the cells get muddled?

    We were looking for ways to help our users (farmers) read the tables out in the field (no mobile coverage) in a format where they had a bit more control than with a pdf, e.g. being able to highlight a row or column to view options for a specific chemical/crop/weed. When viewing on a small screen, following across is particularly difficult.

    Any suggestions? An example is here; look at Table 15. https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/123157/weed-control-in-winter-crops-2016.pdf

    Tables have long been a problem for mobile devices. I know that Justin at Ajar has been working on a new version of in5 to export tables as HTML5, which might help:
