Join Diane Burns for an in-depth discussion in this video Converting tables to graphics for export, part of InDesign: Tables.
- If you follow best practices and use table…and cell styles to format your tables…you'll probably have no issues in…exporting them to EPUB or HTML.…However once in a while you may have a reader…that has problems with one of your tables…or you may have some images that give you problems.…And I wanted to show you an alternative way that you can…work with tables in EPUB or HTML Export.…What you can do is convert them basically to a graphic.…Now this is something that you definitely…don't want to do on a large or complex table.…
But for smaller tables, particularly those with…graphics in them, it works pretty well.…And it's not that difficult to do.…So I want to show you how it's done.…First of all your table needs to be in a separate frame.…It has to be in its own container…in order to apply Rasterization Options.…So I'm going to come into this table…and I'll press my right arrow.…And then I'm going to hold down…the Shift key and press the right arrow.…You can see the black line here…indicating I've selected this table.…
