166 Chapter 8 Creating Tables
To add a table inline with text:
1 Place the insertion point wherever you want the table to appear in the text flow.
2 Click Objects in the toolbar and choose Table (or choose Insert > Table). The Table
Inspector opens.
3 To resize the table, drag the available selection handles.
To place a fixed table:
1 Click anywhere outside the text areas of the document so that no insertion point is
visible.
2 Click Objects in the toolbar and click Table (or choose Insert > Table). A table appears
on the page.
3 Drag the table to wherever you want it to appear on the page.
You can also draw a table yourself.
To draw a table on the page:
1 Hold down the Option key as you click Objects in the toolbar and choose Table.
2 Release the Option key and move the pointer over the page until it becomes a
crosshair.
3 Drag across the page to create a table any size you want. As you drag, the number of
rows and columns increases or decreases with the size of the table.
To size the table from the center, press the Option key while dragging.
Note: A table occupies at least one full line of a document. You cannot wrap text
around the sides of a table. To learn more about wrapping text around objects, see
“Wrapping Text Around an Object” on page 136.
To resize a table:
 Drag the available selection handles.
 If a table spans more than one page, use the Metrics Inspector to resize it. To read
about resizing objects using the Metrics Inspector, see “Adjusting Size and Position
of Objects” on page 156.
 If an inline table spans more than one column, you must resize the column to resize
the table. To read about resizing objects using the Metrics Inspector, see “Adjusting
Size and Position of Objects” on page 156. To read about working with columns, see
“Creating Columns” on page 62.
