To divide a rectangular graphic object
or type container into rows and
columns:

Using the selection tool , select a rect-

Note: If the object is not rectangular, it
will be converted into rows and columns
based on the object’s rectangular
bounding box.

umn width, row height, column gutter,
row gutter, or overall width and height
by entering a new value in the corre-
sponding text box or by using the arrow
