Hi i have files that i have to copy from excel to indesign but im having a problem, when i copy the text to indesign the alignment is mess up. Is there other way i can fix this without losing the alignment? 

Because i have to do it manually and align it using tab each.

i dont want to import the excel file because i have t squeeze the text from small space.

 

Thank you

    Easiest way is to format the table in Excel and then place it as a formatted table. If that’s not what you want you’re going to have provide some screenshots detailing what you need.
