Copying table to new documents with styles intact

[s3nn]

Hey jdum,

I'm trying to copy multiple tables from multiple documents to one final single document. The problem is the tables have styles and sub-elements (such as images / tables) which are not being copied as they should to the new document.

I have tried merging all styles into the final document and then copying over the tables but this seems to cause some conflict. I have also just tried cloning the tables and appending them to the new document but this doesn't work either.

Could you suggest the best way of attempting to do this ?

Thanks in advance,
s3nn

Hi,
It depends a lot of the structure of your data. Note that for complex structures like table in tables, you may need to look the way table are created (in frames? in text document or spread sheet?).
Basically, tables are lists of rows, so reading them and recreating a table should work. The top-down approach also work, but "appending tables" can require to create frames before.
