Hi Henry.
If you are creating your own table, then you could, if you are using tables
with equal width columns and rows do it through Numbers. I got it to work in
Pages, and it would have been fine if I didn't have to export the file to Word.
That's where things got messed up for me.
Actually, I not real fond of doing tables in Word either because it's a little
bit fun, she said sarcastically, editing the cells within the table, even in
Word. I did quite a few of those things before I got my MacBook Pro.
We've had some rather extensive posts before you joined this list on this
subject. You might want to look through previous posts to get more information.
Also, one thing you can do in TextEdit I have done lately is type a column at a
time and paste them into Numbers. The advantage of that is that you can get
them nice and edited first without the restriction of editing in a cell. I have
started doing this when I enter several entries at once into my invoices. It's
a lot faster, and by the way, I had a terrible time pasting anything into a
Word table and having it come out right back in the days when I was using a
Windows computer.
Regards,
Gigi

Good Day:
Firstly, this being my first post to this list, I should probably give
a brief introduction. As you can tell from the name field, my name is Henry
Hollithron. I am a college student, and las October, I acquired a MacBook
Pro. As you might expect, Mac OS has become my primary operating system, and
though I still have my windows computers, I prefer, if possible, to
accomplish what I wish on, what to me, is a much more intuitive system. In
any case, I have been wondering for quite some time whether there is any word
processor currently available which can handle tables. As I said earlier, I
am a college student, and I some times receive documents with tables. My
experience thus far has been that neither Nisus Writer Pro nor Pages even
acknowledges the tables. As for Text Edit, I can at least get the content
from the tables, but if I have to make some modifications to the file in
question and send it back, the table formatting disappears, which is a
problem. From checking the list archives, I have gotten the impression that
there is not currently a way to get tables to work. Am I correct? I would be
glad to be told that I am wrong, since I'd rather not have to add working
with tables to the very small list of tasks for which I still need to use
Windows. Any help is much appreciated.
Thank You:
Henry
