Selecting Table Cells You can apply global settings to a table by selecting the entire table at once. But to place text inside individual table cells, or to place graphic objects within individual cells or groups of cells, you must select only the cells you want to work with. Use the following methods to work with tables. To select the entire table: m Click outside the table once and then click the table. Selection handles appear on the edges of the table, which you can use to resize the table. To select a single table cell: 1 2 Click outside the table once, and then click the table to select the table. Click a table cell once to select the cell. The border of the selected cell is highlighted in yellow. When you have selected a single cell, you can move between cells by pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard. If you type text in this mode, it will replace any text that already appears in the cell. After selecting a cell, you can place images, graphics, or change the cell background, as described in "Adding Graphics or Background Colors" on page 59. To select one segment of a cell border: 1 2 3 4 Click outside the table once, and then click the table to select the table. Click a border within the table to select the entire row or column border. Click again to select a single border segment. Hold down the Shift key as you click to select noncontiguous border segments. To place or edit text inside a table cell: m Select an individual cell and then click that cell again. When the text cursor appears in a table cell, you can move the cursor between table cells by pressing the Tab key.

To copy the contents of one cell into another: m Select a single cell and hold down the Option key as you drag it to another cell. Formatting Tables You can design tables in a variety of creative ways simply by changing the thickness and color of cell borders, selectively removing cell borders, or merging and splitting cells to create useful asymmetries within the table. All table formatting is done in the Table Inspector. To open the Table Inspector: 1 2 Choose View > Show Inspector (or click Inspector in the toolbar). In the Inspector window, click Table. Formatting Rows and Columns To change the number of rows and columns: 1 2 In the Table Inspector, type the number of rows you want in the Rows field. Type the number of columns you want in the Columns field. Type the number of table rows and columns. Combine adjacent cells or split rows and columns. Merging table cells combines adjacent cells into one, eliminating the border so that they behave as a single cell. Creating Tables 57 Splitting cells divides each selected cell into two equal parts, horizontally (rows) or vertically (columns), depending on your choice. To merge table cells: 1 2 Select a group of two or more adjacent table cells. You must choose a rectangular set of cells. In the Table Inspector, click Merge Cells. To split cells horizontally or vertically: 1 2 Select a table cell or cells. To split an entire row or column, select all the cells in the row or column.
