Happy new year to everyone.
I have a document in InDesign that has a huge table on it. I tried breaking the type on this table into outlines (curves), but when i copy and paste the table into a new document and then pre-flight it, it still shows fonts being present. Any of you know of a way to get rid of this nasty problem? Am I doing something wrong?Cheers, and thanks in advance!

sounds like a corrupt text box

use type > find font and it will show you where each instance of the font is. may just be some invisible remnant of, happens to me sometimes

Thanks guys. Not sure if it was either of those. Finally the solution was to bring the table into Illustrator, break everything into curves there, and expand all cells, and then re-import back into InDesign as an EPS.
Thanks!

When you create a table, it is placed in the text string, like an embedded text object. So that text string is formatted with the default Paragraph Style, which is probably where the missing font is. Even if the text in the table is outlined, it is still inside a text box. Hope this is clear.
