What is the best way to have a table in PageMaker?
This is a common thread on the List. Table Editor has a bad name, though it has been considerably improved from PageMaker 6.5 on (see item 4.11). However many users swear that the only way is to use tabs and specially set up styles with rules above and/or below (see section 6.3). The general consensus is that linking and embedding Excel tables works acceptably. Suggestions included printing to disk from Excel etc to create an EPS or creating a PDF. Copy and “paste special” also had its adherents.
