Manipulating tables
You can select, move, resize, delete, and copy a table and its contents, just as
you would with a text frame. Cell properties can also be modified.
To manipulate a table object:
• To resize a table, select it then drag a corner or side handle.
• To move, drag the selected table by using its Move button.
• To delete a table, select it and press the Delete key.
• To duplicate a selected table and its text, drag its Move button
with the Ctrl key pressed down.
