Adobe InDesign/InDesign Graphic tables

Question
hello,
I'm new to InDesign and I used to create all-graphic-tables in quarkXpress and I was wondering if there's an easy way of doing this in InDesign?

Answer
hey there,

I tried this out to make sure it works:
All you need to do is create a table in Indesign.
click outside of the table, anywhere, and go to file, place.  
Grab your picture and put it anywhere but the table (if you put it in the table, you'll get this little red dot which means it too big, and no way to fix it)
click on the picture and ctrl + X (cut :) )
then select the table cell that you want the picture to go in with your text tool and ctrl + V.  

there you go!
