I use Excel 2003 and InDesign CS2 on a PC with XP but this is one way to do it.

Remember the range of cells that you want to copy (and the sheet name if more than one) from the Excel spreadsheet.

With the Excel spreadsheet closed select File/Place in InDesign. When the Place file window opens check the "Show Import Options" box.

After selecting the Excel file, another window will appear asking for the sheet name and range in the Excel worksheet.

Drag the Place pointer to insert the table. Once the table has been inserted you can double click on it to edit or use any of the InDesign Table Options to alter the highlighted text.

Hope that helps.

Michael

I am thoroughly befuddled by this conundrum. Is there a more efficient
way to import Excel tables into InDesign than just copying and pasting
cell by cell as I am cluelessly doing? I'm on a Mac and using CS1 and
Excel 2004.

Thanks,
Carolyn
