[QUOTE="Scarogoth, post: 580580, member: 3507"] I wonder quite what you mean by this. If the table is correctly laid out in Word, my own experience is that InDesign grabs it very well. I must confess, however, that I haven't touched Quark since 3.3.2, so don't know whether Quark does it better... but Convert to Table, where there are just tabs in the way, is also very useful. Once you've mastered tables, it gets easier and easier. If only they'd invent a one-click "Table Style" the same way they have Paragraph and Text Styles, I'd be the happiest bunny in the world. [If this exists, and I'm just stupid... for once I'd appreciate being lampooned. :) ] Fourecks... glad you discovered Text Wrap. It's a synch, though I must confess if the image is TOO complex, and your document TOO long, and you're fitting to image... I'm ashamed to say that it IS possible to make InDesign fall over. :( I must say, however, that I consider neither programme "intuitive"... I'm not sure that software that complex can justify such a description. However, I am another InDesign fan, that much is certain. The one thing that I simply could NOT give up now I have it, is OpenType and the Adobe Paragraph composer. Woof! If you need any more advice, please don't hesitate to ask -- I've notched up at least 2 years on the programme now, so might be able to help. Scarogoth on Yahoo [ICQ 159142060] if that's any help, though being in England means our time zones might be different. [/QUOTE]
