I placed a Word file in my ID doc (CS3 on PC) and I've just hit an empty frame. In Word, it's a text table but it's not in a format I know how to get at.
When I click on the table, I get the 8 little gray boxes on the corners and sides, and at the upper left is an anchor (which I do know means it's an anchored box) with what looks like a tiny suitcase with a T in it.
I suspect it's some sort of hellish Word text box. When I copied and pasted it into a blank Word doc, I was able to click on it and see that each chunk of text was in a separate box. When copied and pasted in ID, I get the entire table, but I'm sure it's just a low-rez bitmap.
Anyone know how to get this thing out of Word into ID as full lines of text (not just individual words in separate text boxes) or a text table?
TIA,
Marlene
