How can one Import MS Word Tables into Adobe InDesign CS3 retaining all formatting?

Rodney D asked:


We have 500 plus pages of formatted MS Word tables that we need to import into Adobe Indesign CS3 retaining our Word formatting (for a book project). Thus far all attempts to do this have failed. Is there a procedure for accomplishing this? Thanks for any possible help.

Go to File>Place and make sure “show import options” is checked. Then click the Word file and a dialog box will pop up and there will be an option to keep tables and formatting.
