InDesign – Tables as Grids

Here’s a little tip that you’ll probably never need, but the day you do it will save you hours!

We were recently working in at Taylor O’Brien on an absolute screamer for a new client of theirs. We knew in advance that the copy would be changing up to the very last minute. The client is a high profile, high quality brand, it had to absolutely bang on and there was no wiggle room.

InDesign Table Borders Tip

making borders easier to work with

This is a handy little tip for when you are working with table borders in InDesign to hopefully make things just a little less fiddly. When you select the cells you want to work with the border tool appears in the info bar at the top of the page. This tool displays which borders on your selected cells will be affected by the changes you are about to make, any lines that are blue indicate borders that will be affected, any lines that are grey indicate borders that will not.
