170 Chapter 8 Creating Tables
Formatting Tables
You can design tables in a variety of creative ways simply by changing the thickness
and color of cell borders, selectively removing cell borders, or merging and splitting
cells to create useful asymmetries within the table.
Using Table Formatting Controls
You can do basic table formatting—including merging and splitting cells, adding and
deleting rows and columns, and adding or removing the header row and column—
using a table formatting menu or the Table Inspector.
To open table formatting menus:
m Select a table or cell(s), and then open the Table Inspector and use the Edit Rows &
Columns pop-up menu in the Table pane.
m Select a table or cell(s), and then choose Format > Table.
m Select a table or cell(s), and then hold down the Control key as you click the table
again to open the table’s shortcut menu.
To open the Table Inspector:
m Click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and click the Table
Inspector button. Use the Table pane for general table formatting. Use the Numbers
pane when you want to use formulas (see “Using Formulas” on page 183) or formatted
numbers (see “Formatting Numbers” on page 178).
