Converting data between text and tables

    In a text document or text frame, you can transform text into a table, and you can convert an inline table to text.

    To convert text into a table:
    1 Prepare the text by inserting paragraph returns for rows and tabs for columns.
    2 Select the text.
    3 Choose Convert To Table from the Table menu.
    Note: The new table is an inline frame, which means it stays with the surrounding text.
