What is the Table Editor?
The Table Editor is a program will create tables and was packaged with PageMaker 4.0. For PM5 it was omitted from the Mac version. With PM6 it was back for both platforms, but on the PC, Adobe Table 2.5 was only available for those who use Win95. Others must use Table Editor 2.1. In PM6.5 and 7.0 the version is Table Editor 3. Most folks agreed that the early versions had some serious setbacks. Later versions are considered usable by many but there are still many limitations. You can’t “place” a .tbl file with Table Editor 3.0 as you could with earlier versions. You can either generate an EPS file in Table Editor and “place” this, or you can bring in a table using the “Insert Object” command (Edit menu). However the latter is not recommended if you intend to send the file to a service bureau. Other ways of importing table data are dealt with in Section 6.
