Jeremy Bohn Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Is it possible to create a table inside a text box like InDesign? Publisher appears to have this as a separate item and I can foresee problems if tables can't flow alongside text in text boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 You can place a table in a text frame and have the text wrap around it just like an image but you can't anchor it to the text Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello @Jeremy Bohn, currently it is not possible to create a table inside a text box. What you can do is to create a table seperately, move it over the text box and assign the table 'Text Wrap' option (like 'Jump'). But this does not move the table along with the text and it has to be repositioned manually. Another option would be to create a table like text with tab stops. For some kind of simple tables this could work and it would flow with the surronding paragraphs. Note: objects (images, tables, vectorobjects) that flow with the text is on the developer's to do list. It's just not there, yet. d.

chaylock Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'll add my name to the list of folks who would like to see tables anchored within the text flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
