BOXES, LINES, AND TABLES
If the application cannot find a valid location, it turns runaround off for the 3.
callout. When QuarkXPress turns off a callout’s runaround this way, it also
places this visual indicator on the callout:
To view visual indicators, check View > Visual Indicators.

To turn runaround back on for such a callout, use the drop-down menu in the
Runaround tab of the Measurements palette.
Working with tables
In QuarkXPress, a table is a distinct item, like a text box, picture box, text path, or
line. When working with tables, you can pretty much think of a cell as an
individual picture box, text box, or no-content box, and you can handle cells in
much the same way you handle these other items. To work with elements of the
table itself — such as rows and columns — use the Table menu.
Drawing a table
To draw a table and specify its properties, do the following:
Select the Table tool from the Tool palette, drag to draw a rectangle
1.
that is roughly the size of the final table, and then release the mouse button.
The Table Properties dialog box displays.
The Table Properties dialog box
Specify the number of horizontal rows in the Body Rows field, and specify the 2.
number of vertical columns in the Columns field.
Specify the number of header rows in the Header Rows field, and specify the
3.
number of footer rows in the Footer Rows field.
If you want to create text cells that expand as you add text, use the controls in
4.
the Auto Fit area.
