The formating gets ruined, even if a add the north arrow before I embed the tables. Adding a scale bar does not seem to ruin the formating.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Ken</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 03 Dec 2012 14:07:02 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/inserting-excel-table-objects-into-map-layout-view/m-p/189724#M2058 KenLucas 2012-12-03T14:07:02Z
