Placing Objects in Table Cells
Each table cell contains one fill text object by default (except for column
headers which contain a text object). A cell can contain more than one
object, fillable or nonfillable.
To place objects in a table cell:
1 Select a tool in the drawing toolbar.
2 Your cursor changes to reflect that object.
3 Move the cursor over the cell to fill so that it highlights the cell.
4 Click to place the object in the cell, or hold down the mouse but-
ton and draw an object to the size that you want.
To resize an object to fit a cell exactly:
1 With the object in the table cell still selected, choose
Size and
Position...
in the Format menu.
The Size and Position dialog box appears.
2 Select
Snap Object(s) to Fit Table Cell.
3Click
OK.
The object resizes to fit the cell exactly.
