Creating Tables
With this option selected, table cells automatically get bigger when text extends
beyond the cell boundary, and adding rows or columns increases the outside
dimensions of the table. As text is removed from a cell, the row height may decrease
(if the cell determines the row height). If “Automatically resize to fit content” is not
selected, Pages tries to keep the outside dimensions of the table the same when you
add rows and columns.
Note: Table cells cannot span multiple pages, columns, or text boxes.
