About Tables

Tables help you organize, analyze, and present data.

Keynote provides a wide variety of options for building and formatting tables and
handling values of different types. You can also use special operations such as sorting
and conditional formatting (a technique for automating the monitoring of cell values).

 “Working with Tables” on page 115 teaches you how to add tables, resize them, move

them, name them, and more.

 “Selecting Tables and Their Components” on page 118 describes how to select tables,

columns, and other table elements in order to work with them.

 “Working with Content in Table Cells” on page 120 tells you how to add text,

numbers, dates, images, and other content to table cells as well as how to monitor
cell values automatically.

 “Working with Rows and Columns” on page 128 covers adding rows and columns,

resizing them, and more.

 “Working with Table Cells” on page 131 contains instructions for splitting cells,

merging them, and copying and moving them as well as formatting cell borders.

 “Sorting Table Cells” on page 133 describes how to sort rows.
