P Spier Mar 25, 2014 7:34 AM (in response to HarlieMcAllister)Why not just place the excel file, same as you would a text file?

HarlieMcAllister Mar 25, 2014 7:51 AM (in response to P Spier)Hi Peter!
I'm not sure how you mean, if you mean copy and pasting like you would text it is inadequate as I need it formatted into a table. I'm sorry I'm being quite vague with my descriptions, I need it to be placed as a table for example:
So it will be Venue (Underneath will be the venue etc) and so and and so forth. (Course code/Date/Fee) and the excel information to be formatted into a table directly.
Excuse the MS paint job

Try selecting the table and set the cell insets to 0.
How do you set the cell insets to 0? I have gotten as far as having red dots?

P Spier Mar 25, 2014 8:12 AM (in response to HarlieMcAllister)Cell insets are a cell property that you set either from the control panel when cells are selected, or fromthe Cell Options dialog, Text tab.
I suspect you may need some basic instruction in how to work with tables. Have you considered getting a book like Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide to InDesign? It's the most recommended primer on the forum.
