Hi,
I just upgraded to CC from CS5, and I'm having an issue in InDesign. It used to be that if I pasted cells from Table A to Table B (or from Excel to Table B) all the copied cells would be pasted into Table B. For example, If I copied 10 rows of data from Table A, and Table B only had 5 rows, Table B would automatically extend to fit the 10 rows of data. In CC, it simply refuses to paste unless Table B already has the required number of cells. Is there a way to change this setting?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Nothing has changed. I've used the program since the table feature was added in InDesign 2.0.
When you're copying cells into a table, InDesign always has required that you select the same number of cells as those you're pasting. The table won't expand when pasting.
There's no setting which changes this.
It's pretty simple: You just expand the table before pasting.

Hi Steve, thanks for your reply.
I just tried pasting cells from an Excel spreadsheet, and InDesign added extra rows to the table as I described. It seems it's just pasting within InDesign that no longer does it.
