• To rotate selected text, right-click and choose Table>Cell Properties.
On the Orientation tab, use the rotation dial to set a rotation angle or
enter a specific value into the input box.
• Table text can be sorted by row, column, multi-row, multi-
column regions or entire table using the Sort button from the context
toolbar. See Sorting tables.
• Characters as part of table text can take line, gradient, and bitmap fill
properties.
• Table text shares default properties separately from other text types
(artistic, frame, or shape). For details, see Updating and saving

• To format numbers and insert formulas, switch on the
Spreadsheet functions button on the Table context toolbar. For more

To change the table's structure and appearance:
• To select a cell, click on the edge of a cell. To select more than one
cell, click in one cell and drag across the others, one row or column at
a time.
• To adjust row or column size, drag the cursor shown when
hovering over the separating lines in the table row or column
headings. Note that you can adjust a row's height independent of the
amount of text it contains. For absolute row/column sizing, choose Set
Column Width(s) or Set Row Height(s) from the Table menu. For
individual columns, click the column or row header's
button,
choosing Set Width or Set Height. You can resize your columns
