Hi Team, I want to copy content from ppt table and paste in to Indesgin.
Basically each cell of the table has multiples of bullet points text.
Currently I am trying to solve by copying content and paste in excel sheets and paste in to word then paste in to indesign. This process tedius and time consuming. Is there any way to imprvoe it.
For this process on excell sheets multiples of bullet points paseted in each cell, then need to merges in to single group.
NEED A QUICK STEP to Solve it !!!

If you can port your Powerpoint table out into an Excel spreadsheet, you may want to try saving the data as .xslx and .xls file and just importing them into InDesign, rather than cutting and pasting that cell by cell. Learn about placing Excel spreadsheet data into InDesign through this link.
From there, you can format the tables into most any format you'd desire. You can learn more about designing tables with InDesign through this link.
Hope this helps,
Randy

Export the slides to JPEG and paste the tables in as images. Nothing faster.

As @James Gifford—NitroPress said - or even better - print / export as a PDF.

Ack — PDFs would be better, just a little harder to cut down if needed. But anything to help them poor critters escape the PowerPoint swamp. 😄

?? Why harder to cut ?? Just resize parent container - crop.

A JPEG can be precisely trimmed in Photoshop and placed as an image. Either export could be "trimmed" using the graphics frame, but I've always found that to be a sloppy shortcut, bulking up the source file unnecessarily, being a bit more difficult to get a precise edge (between, say, a table border and a background color), and, as noted recently, the PDF will retain full bulk even when exported to another PDF.
But frame-masking works fine for all other situations.

Make a PDF from the PPT.
Then in Acrobat save it to a Word Document
You can then copy and paste from Word and manipulate text and layout easier.
If you want to look the exact same as the PPT then just place the PDFs into InDesign.
You can control file size on export again to different formats.
