Table formatting

Ok thanks for that Anto. That seems to work just fine. -

Word doc attached. There are 20 of these docs and the tables have to be identical. This file is supplied by the client and I place it in AP the design. 2021-22 Draft Blayney SoE Report (1).docx -

Still having problems with this. I can't simply edit the tables as they come from MS Word. All the tables have to be the EXACT same column size and I can't get that to happen. Creating a asset of the table then applying it to the new table doesn't seem to do anything. Frankly all too hard. I'll go back to using InDesign. -

OK so the trick seems to be to set the table width in Transform first. That helps... thanks. -

I receive MS Word docs with the tables included. I don't want to create new tables and then try and move the data from the Word doc to the new table—I should be able to reformat the tables supplied by the client. The problem is if I edit a column width in the Table panel it should stay that size and not change every time I alter an adjacent column. The table width should change as I enter new col widths. It's the way InDesign works which is way superior. -

I did that and the other columns change sizes. I need to be able to fix the table width at 180mm then set the columns within the table as described above. The table panel doesn't let me do that (unless I'm using it the wrong way). -

I need to create numerous tables width 180mm, cols 22, 83, 6x12mm cols. When I set col 2 at 83mm it obscures col 3. If I format cols 3 to 8 at 12mm then col 2 at 83mm col 3 is obscured. The only way seems to be to hold the shift key on col 2 and drag it to 83mm. This is too slow when formatting a lot of tables, and it's almost impossible to get the column at exactly 83mm. So how do I do this??

I agree… I find the table editing a nightmare. Using V2 I click on the table to show the columns, then click on the TABLE icon at the top of the page. The TABLE panel does not display so I can't edit the table. I looked at the HELP file—it says to go Window>Table. Within this there are two options… 1 is Table, 2 is Table Formats. Neither of these options displays the Table Panel. Why isn't there and editing option in the Table Menu? Much easier than all these stupid icons! So what am I not doing? -

Tried converting all photos to CMYK then exporting. Made little difference. The sample file went from 121.4 Mb to 117.8 Mb. So there is another reason for the over large files. Lagarto's sample files also show the difference when exporting via Affinity vs InDesign. PLEASE can this be fixed. Also the bloated file sizes mentioned in earlier posts.
