Excel link

[NataliaVo]

• Hello! Maybe someone knows, I linked a table in indesign. With exelfailom, when I make changes in excel, everything is ok in the table, the info changes, but I lose the table style, I need to format it again, maybe someone knows how not to lose this style when changing the file in excel?

You need to either start using cell/table styles or do all the styling in Excel and place it as a formatted table.

A workaround - AS LONG AS change in data in Excel WON'T change the "shape" of the table - width / height of the Cells - you could place an empty table - duplicate your current table, style edges / fills, delete contents - on a layer below and lock it.

When you say "table style", are you referring to official styles or just the manually-applied formatting?
