Table Of Contents
Last: Activates the far-right layout tab.
Go to: Lets you activate a specific layout and then choose the layout from the submenu.
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.

see on screen when the menu item is checked. This menu includes the following commands:
Fit in Window: Automatically scales the view to fit (and center) an entire page in the
layout window.
