Using OLE
Tables
• If you are creating a simple table
OR
if you do not have enough RAM to run PageMaker and Adobe
Table simultaneously
OR if your table is more then one page, you can still create the table
in PageMaker; you can create an OLE Table.
• The advantage to creating OLE Tables (Object Linking and
Embedding) in PageMaker is that you will have an easier time
formatting the table, with styles, scripts and tagged text.
Creating OLE
Tables
To create an OLE Table in PageMaker:
• Go to the page where you would like the table to be inserted.
• From the main menu, choose Edit > Insert Object to display the
Insert Pages dialog box:
• Check the Create New radio button then select Adobe Table 3.0 from
the Object List and click the OK button to launch the application.
• Setup the table and enter the desired content.
• When the table is finished, choose File > Exit and Return To from the
Adobe Table 3.0 main menu to return to the PageMaker Publication.
Creating an
OLE
Embedded
Table
• When you make your table an inline graphic, you can insert it at any
specific location in the text.
To create an OLE embedded:
• In Adobe Table 3.0 select a completed table with the Selection
button which is located in the upper left corner of the table.
• From the main menu, choose Edit > Copy to copy the table to the
Clipboard.
• Switch back to PageMaker and place the text cursor where the table
should be pasted.
• From the main menu, choose Edit > Paste Special and paste the
table as an Adobe Table 3.0 object.
