Table menu
The Table menu includes commands for adding rows and columns to tables,
modifying table attributes, converting tables, and more.
Create Table From External Source: Lets you import text content from an ●
Excel file along with its formatting.
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.
