Mr. Crow:

I took a look at the tagged text reference that comes with InDesign (the software for which I write scripts) and there is a whole section relating to tables in it. The PDF is called Adobe InDesign Tagged Text. It is short, and easy to understand. Text files are brought in through the judicious use of place commands, though I have not played with the table tags. The available set of tags is extensive, so give it a look along with the other suggestions.
   If text boxes are linked, then a single place will bring in data for all the text boxes, but then you have the problem of text flow. I have written a megascript (with the fine assistance of many on this forum--thank you!) which creates pages from scratch; I may have as many as forty separate text boxes on the page for which a single place must be performed. It does not take all that long so it may be worthwhile doing the single place per text box to save you the hassle of having to learn scripting for three separate software packages.

R,
John
