Is it possible to copy and paste a table from word into indesign?

Question

Eugene Tyson · Accepted Answer

In the InDesign preferences go to Clipboard handling

Choose the option for All information - as shown here

The table is pasted directly as a table

If you choose the bottom option it is imported as plain text as shown below.

Possible, but not recommended.https://youtu.be/IZB3ZclZtZg?feature=sharedBetter to File > Place. And also better to pre-plan and pre-build a set of cell styles along with a table style to coordinate them. A table can either be dressed with the style while placing; or after placing.https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/table-cell-styles.html
