      hi
      Anybody knows how to position table in a text frame ? It’s trivial when you have table as whole separate text frame, but when you want put table into text its not possible to manipulate it. Its weird – you just cant select table as single object.

      BTW. In Indesign you can put only 600 paragraph lines into single cell :p .

      The entire table is regarded as one character in a paragraph, so you manipulate it as such.

      Insert your cursor in the paragraph immediately above the table and hit the down-arrow key (or in the paragraph immediately below and hit the up-arrow key), you’ll notice a huge blinking cursor to the side of the entire table, this means the table is selected. Then you change the position by playing with the regular paragraph settings (found in the paragraph panel or control panel) such as left indent, right indent, space before, space after, alignment etc.
