      Hi all,

      Is it possible to export data in a table/textbox from an InDesign file to an Excel file?

      Thanks in advance

      As you can see for yourself, “Excel” does not appear in the Export 'save as' options list.

      You can try this, though. Change tables to plain text, using the comma as Comma Separator (leave Row Separator at its default setting, “Paragraph”), then export to plain text. This will add a “.txt” suffix to the file; change it to “.csv”, which stands for “Comma Separated Values”, and you will be able to import it into Excel.
