Use the .eps option to link the tables to pagemaker, and pray.  I feel worse about adobe table than Bob does, it cost me a lot of money back in it's day and drove me to Quark for annual reports. Indesign has table functions built into the program, a much better solution, than a very buggy external program.

I remember that Adobe Table was so bad that I used it only twice, and was so disappointed that afterwards  I did all my tables by hand.

If I said InDesign 2 was PM9, would you reconsider?

Load up InDesign, open/convert your PM files to INDD, and you'll not look back.

Tables are straightforward (direct insert from Excel for example) and creating PDFs for your printer couldn't be easier.

PM is obsolete, and only gets more problematic with age - which is why Adobe have forgotten about it and developed InDesign.

Did Indesign 2 have tables? Tables were late to come to Indesign, but I can't remember which version.

 

If you decide to go the Indesign route and neeed/want to upgrade I would recommend doing it soon as Adobe is changing thier upgrade policies. Right now Indesign 2 is not eligible for an upgrade, but Pagemaker is, but pretty soon only the last version of any product will be eligible for upgrades.

It does.

And my copy of CS5.5 is on its way - should be here tomorrow!  Adobe are discounting the upgrade to CS5.5 from CS2 by 20% and I couldn't let that pass.

PM won't be available via the Creative Cloud, that's certain!

So it is, though the PM page is covered with Adobe "has discontinued development of PageMaker" and "reasons to move on to InDesign" including the perennial upgrade discount to the current version of InDesign.

Have a cigar.
