Switching rows and columns in a table

[ericksonf40781775]

Hello all.  I'm wondering if there is a way that a table's column and rows can be switched in a table, i.e. make current column headers into the rows and vice versa?

You can do that easily in Excel with Select > Copy > Paste Special > Transpose, but InDesign does not have that feature.

You can put in a feature request here: Adobe InDesign Feedback

or take it into Excel

or retype it

or maybe someone will say it can be done with a script. And maybe even tell you how to do it with the script.

There's an existing script all right:

Hm,

do you want to switch cell properties like fill, stroke, insets as well?

And how about cell widths and cell heights?

Are there any header and footer rows?
