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:
1
Select the Tables tool from the Tool palette, drag to draw a rectangle 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
2
Specify the number of horizontal rows in the Rows field, and specify the number of vertical
columns in the Columns field.
3
To specify the default cell type, click Text Cells or Picture Cells in the Cell Type area.
Later, you can select specific cells and convert the content type if needed.
4
If you want to create text cells that expand as you add text, use the controls in the Auto
Fit area.
5
If you have a preference for how to navigate through cells in a table when you press
Control+Tab, you can choose a different option from the Tab Order drop-down menu.
