Formatting Tables
You can design tables in a variety of creative ways simply by changing the thickness
and color of cell borders, selectively removing cell borders, or merging and splitting
cells to create useful asymmetries within the table. Most table formatting is done in
the Table Inspector. You can also choose Format > Table to do such tasks as evenly
distributing rows or columns.
You can accomplish many of the tasks described in this section using shortcut menus.
