very helpful -but can you link the spreadsheet so it updates automatically?

I wish Adobe would also allow you to import Apple Numbers files as well. If you use Numbers, you have to save a copy of your file as an excel file and import that. So now you have 2 copies of the same original spreadsheet file. After seeing you import a table from Word, it got me wondering if it will import a Pages table. I suspect not, but I might test that out.

It's okay but how many times do you get a document whose tables are separated from the document itself. Everything is usually in one document how do you go about copying and pasting that in a faster way.

For some strange reason I can't do this on windows, does anyone have a way, or maybe it's a mac only feature?
