Although you can update tables just as you can update pictures, you’ll need to
keep the following points in mind:
If you check Include Formats in the Table Link dialog box when you first ●
import an Excel table, the table’s Excel formatting is preserved (as much as
possible) in QuarkXPress. If you later update the table, any local formatting
you have applied in QuarkXPress is removed and replaced with the
formatting from the Excel file.
If you do not check Include Formats in the Table Link dialog box when you ●
first import an Excel table, the table’s Excel formatting is discarded. If you
later update the table, QuarkXPress attempts to preserve any local
formatting you have applied to the table in QuarkXPress.

Using the Tables tool, drag to draw a table of approximately the dimensions 1
you need. The Table Properties dialog box displays when you release the
