Some time ago, I wrote about a Table Transpose script I wrote for InDesign. Swaps rows and columns. I mentioned I was going to upload it to the Adobe site, but that never happened. So, trying to upload it today; the Adobe site fell over at the final hurdle. Here’s what you should have been able to read:
Table Transpose v1
by Iain Anderson
Description:
Transposes tables, swapping rows and columns.
Switches rows and columns around in a table. As well as table content, this script swaps backgrounds with tints and basic text styles. It doesn’t deal with border styles, and if you’ve merged cells… best of luck.
Instructions:
Select the text frame containing the table to be transposed, then run the script. The script turns rows into columns and vice-versa, swapping row and column content, text styles and cell backgrounds. Use on backup copies. No responsibility taken for damage caused.
License Type: Freeware
And here it is: Table Transpose v1. Pop it in your InDesign/Presets/Scripts folder. [EDIT: Link updated. Works on Mac and PC InDesign CS2/3 and maybe CS1, though I can’t test that.]
Is there a Mac version of this script?
