If you select Justify, specify the Paragraph Spacing Limit; this will set a maximum amount of space to be added
between paragraphs. (See
Align or justify text vertically within a text frame.)
4 For First Baseline, select an option to determine how text is to be offset from the top of the cell.
The settings are the same as the corresponding settings in the Text Frame Options dialog box. (See Change text
frame properties.)
5 Click OK.
Note: To change the horizontal alignment of text within a cell, use the alignment option in the Paragraph panel. To align
text in a cell to a decimal tab, use the Tabs panel to add a decimal tab setting.
Rotate text in a cell
1 Position the insertion point in the cell you want to rotate, or select the cells you want to affect.
2 Choose Table > Cell Options > Text, or display the Table panel.
3 Select a value for Rotation, and click OK.
Change cell inset spacing
You can set the cell inset spacing for both text (containing text) and graphic (containing graphics) cells.
Text cells
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 panel.
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.
Graphic cells

Note: If you are unable to select the cell, click the link or embed symbol in the upper-right corner of the cell and press Esc.
2 Choose Table > Cell Options > Graphics.
3 Under Cell Insets, specify values for Top, Bottom, Left, and Right, and then click OK.
Merge and split cells

in the top row of the table to create a single cell to be used for the table title.
1 Using the Type tool , select the cells you want to merge.
2 Choose Table > Merge Cells.
