Chapter 8 Creating Tables 147
To split cells horizontally or vertically:
1 Select a table cell or cells. To split an entire row or column, select all the cells in the
row or column.
2 Choose Format > Table > Split Into Rows or Split Into Columns.
You can also split cells into rows or columns by clicking Split Rows or Split Columns in
the Table Inspector. You can repeat the split operation to create smaller and smaller
units within a table cell. To rejoin split cells, select them and choose Format > Table >
Merge Cells.
To resize table cells:
 Select the cells and enter values in the Column Width and Column Height fields of
the Table Inspector, and then press Return.
 Select cell borders and drag to resize.
To make all table cells the same size:
m Select the table and choose Format > Table > Distribute Rows Evenly and Distribute
Columns Evenly.
If there is too much text in a table cell, a clipping indicator appears at the bottom of
the cell.
To avoid clipping, you can drag the cell borders to resize them, or drag a selection
handle to resize the entire table. You can also make table rows automatically shrink or
expand in height to accommodate the text inside them.
To make table rows automatically grow or shrink to fit their contents:
m Select the table, and then select the checkbox labeled “Automatically resize to fit
content” in the Table Inspector.
The clipping indicator
appears when a table cell
contains more text than
can be seen.
