Aer you have formaed one table, you
can save your table and cell formats in
the Table Styles and Cell Styles panels.
To adjust a column’s width, drag the divider
with the Type tool. To move a column
without altering the overall table width,
hold down the Shi key while dragging.
To format a row at a time, select all its cells
by clicking along its le edge with the Type
tool (or select a column by clicking along its
top edge). You can then change all the
selected cells at once using the Swatches,
Stroke, Control, or Table panel.
To apply alternating tints and other
table-wide formaing options, place
the text cursor inside the table and
choose Table > Table Options >
Table Setup.

Formaing tables
InDesign oers extensive format-
ting controls for tables. You can
apply alternating lls or strokes by
choosing Table > Table Options >
Table Setup. You can specify cell
inset values, alignment, text rotation,
row height, column width, and keep
options by choosing Table > Cell
Options > Text.
You can also format a cell, row, or
column by selecting it with the Type
tool and then using the Control,
Stroke, Swatches, or Table panel.
InDesign makes it easy to add and
delete rows and columns and to
merge, unmerge, and split cells. You
can nd all these commands in the
Table menu.
Table and cell styles
Creating table and cell styles is
similar to creating paragraph and
character styles. When you edit a
table style or cell style, all tables
or cells that have been format-
ted using that style are automati-
cally updated when you save your
changes. You can create table and
cell styles by opening the Cell Styles
and Table Styles panels from the
Window > Type & Tables menu.
