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 controlling text flow in linked cells. In addition to linking
table cells to each other, you can link cells to and from text boxes and text
paths.
To link all the cells in a table, check Link Cells in the Table Properties dialog ●
box when you create the table.
To link selected cells in a table, choose Table > Link Text Cells. All but the ●
first cell in the selection must be empty.
To manually link table cells, use the Linking tool . As with linking text boxes, ●
click to select the starting cell and then click the next cell you want to add.
To redirect existing links, Shift+click with the Linking tool.
To unlink table cells, use the Unlinking tool to click the blunt end of the ●
arrow between linked cells.
