Table styles control the appearance of a table and all of the cells contained in
the table, but you can override the style of individual cells. The Cell and
Contents sections of the Properties Inspector are used to control the border
styles, text formatting, and the size of the cells.
The border properties in a table’s cell style control the display of the gridlines
that divide the table into cells. The borders of the title row, the column heads
row, and the data rows can have different lineweight and color and can be
displayed or not displayed.
The appearance of text in the cells of the table is controlled by the text style
that is specified in the current cell style. You can use any text style in the
drawing or create a new one. The type of data you display in a row and the
formatting for that data type is controlled by the formatting options you select
in the Table Cell Format dialog box.

Add Text and Blocks to Tables
Table cell data can include text and multiple blocks.
When a table is created, the first cell is highlighted, and you can begin entering
text. The row height of the cell increases to accommodate the number of lines
of text. To move to the next cell, press Tab, or use the arrow keys to move
left, right, up, and down. You can quickly edit cell text by double-clicking in
a selected cell or start entering text to replace the current content of a cell.
When you insert a block into a table cell, either the block can be automatically
fit to the size of the cell, or the cell can adjust to accommodate the size of the
block.
Blocks can be inserted from the Table Cell visor. Multiple blocks can be inserted
in a table cell. If there is more than one block in a table cell, use the Manage
Cell Content dialog box to customize the way the cell content is displayed.
Inside the cell, the arrow keys move the cursor. Use the Table and Table Cell
visors, Properties Inspector, and shortcut menus to format text, import text,
or make other changes to the text in the cell.
