Convert tables to text

1

Using the Type tool

, place the insertion point inside the table, or select text in the table.

2

Choose Table > Convert Table To Text.

3

For both Column Separator and Row Separator, specify the separators you want to use.

For best results, use a different separator for columns and rows, such as tabs for columns and paragraphs for rows.

4

Click OK.

When you convert a table to text, the table lines are removed and the separator you specify is inserted at the end of each
row and column.

Combine tables

Use the Paste command to merge two or more tables into a single table.

1

In the target table, insert at least as many blank rows as you’ll be pasting from the other tables. (If you insert fewer
rows than are copied, you cannot paste.)

2

In the source table, select the cells you want to copy. (If you copy more column cells than are available in the target
table, you cannot paste.)

3

Select at least one cell where you want the incoming rows to be inserted, and then choose Edit > Paste.

If the pasted rows use different formatting than the rest of the table, define one or more cell styles, and then apply the
cell styles to the pasted cells. Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while clicking the cell style to override

existing formatting.
