Hi, Tables is something which majorly bothers me about Pages too. I couldn't understand why it wouldn't read them. Now I am enlightened! Thanks. What is the command to convert text to table and table to text which was mentioned? Or if I read right, how do you create a command like this? Also, someone said to put your table in numbers, modify it and then copy back only the columns with text in, back into Pages. But, what if you want to have blank columns? I create tables for students to fill in, so need blank columns and just the structure. Will my table come out looking very random? Thanks. Kirsten.
