      Hi,

      I have imported some tables from Word to InDesign CS3.

      It looks quite alright, but as the tables are next to eachother, you can easily see that the text in the table is not on the same line as the text in the neighbour table.

      I really want to set all the text in all the tables, on to baseline grid. Something is happening when I press the “align to grid”-button, the text is surely aligning to SOMETHING – but not to my document grid!

      Help anyone?

      It seems that text in a table will only align to a Baseline Grid (BG) that has an origin at the Page (as opposed to the Margin).
      Text in a table will continue align to a BG set at a ‘page origin’ EVEN IF the BG is altered to be one with a ‘margin origin’ (and moves).
      It’s just that text in the table now uses a BG (page origin) that is now invisible.

      NOTE: You may get the impression of correct baseline alignment if a ‘margin origin’ BG starts on a top margin is a multiple of the BG.
