Tables

Last updated 6/6/2015

By default, row height is determined by the slug height of the current font. Thus, row height also changes if you change

the point size of type for entire rows of text, or if you change the row height setting. The maximum row height is

determined by the Maximum setting in the Rows And Columns section of the Cell Options dialog box.

Resize rows or columns without changing the table width

• Hold down Shift while dragging an inside row or column edge (not the table boundary). One row or column gets

bigger as the other gets smaller.

• To resize rows or columns proportionally, hold down Shift while dragging the right table border or bottom table

edge.

Holding down Shift while dragging the right table edge will resize all the columns proportionally; holding down Shift

while dragging the bottom table edge will resize all rows proportionally.

Resize the entire table

❖ Using the Type tool , position the pointer over the lower-right corner of the table so that the pointer becomes

an arrow shape , and then drag to increase or decrease the table size. Hold down Shift to maintain the table’s

height and width proportions.

Note: If the table spans more than one frame in a story, you cannot use the pointer to resize the entire table.

Distribute columns and rows evenly

1 Select cells in the columns or rows that should be the same width or height.

2 Choose Table > Distribute Rows Evenly or Distribute Columns Evenly.

Change the spacing before or after a table

1 Place the insertion point in the table and choose Table > Table Options > Table Setup.

2 Under Table Spacing, specify different values for Space Before and Space After, and then click OK.

Note that changing the spacing before the table does not affect the spacing of a table row that falls at the top of a frame.

Break tables across frames

Use Keep options to determine how many rows should remain together, or to specify where a row breaks, such as at the

top of a column or frame.

When you create a table that is taller than the frame in which it resides, the frame is overset. If you thread the frame to

another frame, the table continues in that frame. Rows move into threaded frames one at a time—you can’t break a

single row across multiple frames. Specify header or footer rows to repeat information in the new frame.

1 Position the insertion point in the appropriate row, or select a range of cells in the rows you want to keep together.

2 Choose Table > Cell Options > Rows And Columns.

3 To keep the selected rows together, select Keep With Next Row.

4 To cause the row to break in a specified location, select an option (such as In Next Frame) from the Start Row menu,

and then click OK.

If you create a single table that spans both pages of a spread, you may want to add a blank column in the middle of the

table to create inset margins.
