Using Tables

Selecting Table Cell Borders

Select cell borders when you want to format one or more segments of the borders.

Here are ways to select borders and border segments:

m

To select specific borders for multiple cells: Select the table, row, column, or cells, and
then click one of the Cell Borders buttons in the Table Inspector.

m

To select a border: If the table is selected, click the border. If the table isn’t selected,
double-click the border.

m

To select a border segment: If the table is selected, double-click the segment. If the table
isn’t selected, click the segment three times. To select (or deselect) additional segments,
press the Shift or Command key as you click.

When a table border is selected, clicking another border selects the border. Clicking the
same border selects a segment.

When a segment is selected, clicking another segment selects the segment. Clicking
the same segment selects the border.

When a cell, border, or segment is selected, the pointer appears to straddle the border
or segment. You can drag these pointers to move a border.

Working with Content in Table Cells

You can add text, numbers, and dates to table cells, and you can format values in cells.
You can also add images and background color, as well as checkboxes, sliders, and
other controls. And you can use autofilling to use the content in one or more cells to
automatically add values to adjacent cells.

Adding and Editing Cell Values

You can add, change, and delete the content in cells.

Here are ways to add and edit values:

m

If the cell is empty, select it and then type a value. “Selecting a Table Cell” on page 119
tells you how to select cells.

m

To replace specific content already in the cell, select the cell and then select what you
want to replace by double-clicking; hold down the Shift key and select more content if
you want to replace more. Type to replace the selected content.
