Divide InDesign Tables

[Fritz Hansen]

Is it possible to split an existing table into two or more tables?

You can use Cut/Paste to Pull rows from an existing table and make them into a separate table. 

You can do the same with columns.

Hi,

Of course, as said!

Personally, I'ld do it differently…

Just selecting the rows [in the sample: the 3 "blue" rows] I'ld like to have in the first new table, defining thereby how I want the table to be splitted! …

and 1 click!* …

Especially useful if lots of tables to be splitted!

If a "split"-pattern can be defined [e.g. cell style or para style], the user could just need 1 click! …

Best,

Michel, from FRIdNGE

There is a script on the forums that will split a table from a cursor point:

The post has to be read in its entirety as the first script posted isn't quite right, but the solution to make it work is there.
