Paste Excel Table into Indesign as Image

[LAW_HRP]

I want to copy/paste an excel table into indesign as an image.  I can make it work if I copy from excel, paste into publisher or word (as "special") and then copy/paste (or place) that image into InDesign.  This preserves the content exactly as it was, and can it can be re-sized like an image.  Seems like there should be an easier way?  I can't "code" so I need the instructions for dummies.... thanks all.

Paste it into Photoshop. Save as PSD, TIF or PNG, but honestly, that is not a great workflow.

If you place it as a formatted table, it should keep most of the formatting and you can tweak as needed.

Do you know that you can navigate to the Home tab in Excel and choose Copy > Copy as Picture (As Shown When Printed) in the Clipboard group? Then you can paste directly into InDesign and bypass the other apps.

I forgot about that but it's a pretty down and dirty method.

WHOA Barb!  That's exactly what I was looking for...  paste into InDesign and I can READ it and size it...etc.

I knew it was somewhere - thanks for your help!!
