Introduction

In this episode, we'll convert tab-separated text data into a table with one command, then format it quickly. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Data from emails or spreadsheets is often tab-separated text. Instead of retyping, InDesign converts it directly into a table.

Step 1: Tab-separated data

Open the sales data file. Population numbers, and notes separated by tab characters. Show hidden characters to ensure the separators are tabs, not spaces.

Step 2: Selecting text

Select all data rows with the Type tool, from the column header row to the last row. Make sure there are no empty rows between data, as they will become empty rows in the table.

Step 3: Convert Text to Table

Select the text, then choose Convert Text to Table. Set the tab character as the column separator and the paragraph return as the row separator, then OK. In an instant, the text turns into a three-column table with as many rows as the data.

Step 4: Header and formatting

Select the first row and the table, then choose Convert to Header. Apply the Tosca color to the header and thick white text. Then enable alternating fill so the rows are easy to read.

Step 5: Numbers aligned to the right

Select the population number column and align it to the right so the digits line up. Right-aligned number columns are much easier to compare. The opposite is also available.

Step 6: Convert Table to Text

Table, Convert Table to Text converts the table back into tab-separated text. Useful if the data needs to be copied into another application.

Done!

Done. We've checked the tab separators using hidden characters, converted text into a table using Convert Text to Table, created headers, formatted, and learned about Convert Table to Text. In the next episode, we'll summarize everything into a complete event schedule project with table styles and cell styles.
