Adding text and pictures to tables
When working with tables, think of a table cell as a text box or a picture box. Each box
contains content — text that may or may not be linked to the next cell, an individual
picture, or nothing (maybe just a blend). Therefore, you can add content to tables much
as you add content to boxes — by typing text, importing text, or importing pictures.
Converting text cells to picture cells is the same as converting a text box to a picture box.
Select all the cells you want to convert and choose Item > Content > Picture.
Editing table text
Two important things to know about editing text within tables are how to navigate between
cells and how to select text for formatting. As always when working with text, you must
first select the Text Content tool .
Navigating through a table works as follows:
• Click in a cell in which you want to enter or import text.
• Press Control+Tab to move to the next cell.
• Press Control+Shift+Tab to go back to the previous cell.
• Press the arrow keys to move through the text in a cell, and to move from cell to cell.
To enter a tab character in a text cell, press Tab. To enter a right-indent tab, press
Option+Tab/Shift+Tab. If you need to align numbers within a table on the decimal point
or other character, you can insert tabs in each table cell and then specify the appropriate
Align On tab stops (Style > Tabs).
Selecting text in rows and columns works as follows:
• To select all the text in a row, click outside the right or left edge of the table.
• To select all the text in a column, click outside the top or bottom edge of the table.
• To select all the text over several rows or columns, drag along an edge of the table.
• To select text in non-adjacent rows or columns, Shift+click the specific rows or columns.
• To select text in various rows and columns, use the options in the Select submenu of the
Table menu. Options include Cell, Row, Odd Rows, Even Rows, Column, Odd Columns,
Even Columns, All Cells, Header Rows, Footer Rows, and Body Rows. The Select
commands in the Table menu are helpful for applying different formatting to alternating
rows or columns.
Linking table cells
When cells are linked, text that is typed, imported, or pasted into a cell fills the first text
cell in the linked story, and then flows into each subsequent linked cell. As with text in
linked boxes, the Next Column character (enter on the numeric keypad) is helpful for
