Chapter 8 Creating Tables 165
When you use a table to present numeric data, you can use formulas and number
formatting to automate how values are displayed. For example, you can total or
average values in a row or column, and display negative numbers in red or in
parentheses.
Adding a Table
Tables can be added inline with text or fixed on the page. (To learn about fixed and
inline objects, see “Fixed Objects Versus Inline Objects” on page 124.) Fixed tables
cannot span page boundaries, but inline tables can.
This layout, featured in
the Photo Journal
template, was made by
filling some table cells
with images, and others
with colors and text.
This table, used in the
Invoice template, uses
formulas to automatically
update cost when
quantity or unit price
changes.
