Table menu
The Table menu includes commands for adding rows and columns to tables, modifying
table attributes, converting tables, and more.
• Insert: Lets you add a row or column to a table.
• Select: Lets you select a pattern of rows and columns or other table elements. This
makes it easy to apply alternating formatting — such as shading every other row.
• Delete: Lets you delete a selection from the table.
• Combine Cells: Lets you combine a rectangular selection of adjacent table cells
— including entire rows or columns — into a single cell.
• Table Break: Lets you continue a table in another location. The table break is the
maximum size the table can reach before it splits into two linked tables.
• Make Separate Tables: Lets you sever the link between continued tables so each
table becomes completely separate. This prevents changes to one portion of the
table from affecting all the continued tables.
• Repeat As Header: Lets you specify a header row to repeat automatically in
continued instances of a table.
• Repeat As Footer: Lets you specify a footer row to repeat automatically in
continued instances of a table.
• Convert Text to Table: Lets you convert text that has already been imported or
typed into a text box to a table. This works best with text that is delimited in some
way to indicate how to divide the information into columns and rows.
• Convert Table: Lets you convert the information in a table to text or to a group
of related boxes. You might convert a table for easy exporting of the current data
or to save a document containing features that are not supported in earlier versions
of QuarkXPress.
• Table Direction: Lets you specify horizontal or vertical orientation for a table.
• Link Text Cells: Lets you link table cells to each other just as text boxes and text
paths can be linked. Text that is typed, imported, or pasted into a linked cell fills
the first text cell, and then flows on to each subsequent linked cell.
• Maintain Geometry: Lets you prevent the width and height of a table from
changing when you insert or delete rows or columns.
