Creating Tables

You can also draw a table on the slide canvas.

To draw a table on the slide canvas:

Drag across the slide canvas to create a table any size you want.

To size the table from the center, continue to hold down the Option key while

dragging the crosshair pointer across the canvas.

As you drag, the number of rows and columns increases or decreases with the size of

the table. To constrain the table’s proportions, hold down the Shift key as you drag.

To open the Table Inspector:

m

Click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then 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 110) or

formatted numbers (see “Formatting Numbers” on page 106).
