Just got the new PageMaker 4.2 to use with Microsoft Word 5.0 in my quest to automate publications. With PageMaker 4.0 I could link graphics that were "Place"able, but I use a LOT of Word Tables. The only way to get the tables into PageMaker is to convert them into PICT graphics in Word, then cut them through the Clipboard. Of course, PageMaker can't link through the clipboard! SOooooo, my publish & subscribe dream...publish the table in Word, then subscribe in PageMaker???? IT WON'T WORK. PageMaker brings it over in pieces as tab delimited data - no more table! Welllll, how about convert the table to PICT in Word, then publish the PICT table and subscribe in PageMaker???? Close, but no ceeegar. PageMaker brings it over as an inline graphic, which is supposed happen only if you select the text cursor from the Toolbox. Everytime I tried to move the table into position, it would spring back into place presumably because of it's inline graphic status. I figure if I could get it to be an independent graphic things might go OK, but since its coming from a WORD processor, PageMaker gets the message that is is text (just a guess). Some of you may be wondering why I don't just use the PageMaker Table Editor to make the tables? I investigated that but I need to be able to use multiple fonts and it's not supported. Anybody have any ideas or experiences with how to LINK Word tables to PageMaker???? Wisdom????
