To insert multiple rows and columns
1 With the insertion point in the table, choose Table > Table Options > Table Setup.
2 Specify a different number of rows and columns, and then click OK.
New rows are added to the bottom of the table. New columns are added to the right side of the table.
You can also change the number of rows and columns using the Table palette. To display the Table palette, choose
Window > Type & Tables > Table.
To insert a row or column by dragging
When adding columns, if you drag more than one and one-half times the width of the column being dragged, new
columns are added that have the same width as the original column. If you drag to insert only one column, that
column can have a narrower or wider width than the column from where you dragged. The same behavior is true of
rows, unless the Row Height for the row being dragged is set to At Least. In this case, if you drag to create only one
row, InDesign will “grow” the new row, if necessary, so that it’s tall enough to contain text.
1 Position the Type tool over the border of a column or row so that a double-arrow icon ( or ) appears.
2 Hold down the mouse button, and then hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while dragging down to
create a new row, or to the right to create a new column. (If you press Alt or Option before holding down the mouse
button, the Hand tool appears—so make sure you begin dragging before you press Alt or Option.)
Note: Dragging to insert rows or columns doesn’t work at the top or left edges of a table. These fields are used to select
rows or columns.
