2 Choose Table > Cell Options > Rows and Columns, or display the Table palette.
3 For Row Height, select Exactly or At Least.
Youcan select At Leasttoset aminimum rowheightthatwillincreaseinheightasyou addtextorincreasethe point
size, or you can select Exactly to set a fixed row height. When you create a fixed row height, row height does not
change when you add or remove text. A fixed row height often results in an overset condition in the cell.
4 Specify the height of the rows.

To change cell inset spacing
1 Using the Type tool , place the insertion point in or select the cell or cells you want to affect.
2 Choose Table > Cell Options > Text, or display the Table palette.
3 Under Cell Insets, specify values for Top, Bottom, Left, and Right, and then click OK.
In many cases, increasing the cell inset spacing will increase the row height. If the row height is set at a fixed value,
make sure that you leave enough room for the inset values, to avoid causing overset text.
To add text before a table
A table is anchored to the paragraphs that immediately precede and follow it. If you insert a table at the beginning of
the text frame, you can’t click above the table to place an insertion point. Instead, use the arrow keys to move the
insertion point before the table.
Place the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph in the first cell, press the Left Arrow key, and begin typing.
❖ Do one of the following:
• Place the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph in the first cell, press the left arrow key, and begin
typing.
• For vertical tables, place the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph in the first cell, press the Up Arrow
key, and begin typing.
To insert tabs into a table cell
When the insertion point is in a table, pressing Tab moves the insertion point to the next cell. However, you can insert
a tab within a table cell. Use the Tabs palette to define tab settings in the table. Tab settings affect the paragraph in
which the insertion point is placed.
1 Using the Type tool , place the insertion point where you want to insert a tab.
2 Choose Type > Insert Special Character > Tab.
To change tab settings, select the columns or cells you want to affect, choose Type > Tabs to display the Tabs palette,
and then adjust tab settings.
