Hello,

 

I am trying to import a simple Excel table into Indesign.

Using the Import options with Formatted table selected.

Still the table imports as a blank table without formatting (color, borders) and without the used font.

 

I am using an  Excel from Office 365. Als tried to save it as an xls.

Nothing works.

Dude!

Didn't even read the alert. Just pressed 'Yes'every time.

 

Thanks a lot!

It is absolutely the dumbest alert in the entire history of InDesign. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to speed up your workflow by slowing it down and defaulting it to yes.

LOL. Feels like I am the only one not reading it properly though.... couldn't find an answer anywhere. Glad you helped.
