You can also Control-click the table to show the table menu and choose Split Into
Rows or Split Into Columns (or choose Format > Table > Split Into Rows or Split Into
Columns).
 To split cells into rows, choose Split Rows.
 To split cells into columns, choose Split Columns.
You can repeat the split operation to create smaller and smaller units within a table
cell.
To rejoin split cells:
m Select the cells and choose Merge Cells from the Edit Rows & Columns pop-up menu
in the Table Inspector. Or, choose Format > Table > Merge Cells.
To resize table cells, do one of the following:
 Select the cells and enter values in the Column Width and Row Height fields in the
Table pane 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 select the table and
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:
1 Select the table.
2 In the Table pane of the Table Inspector, select the checkbox labeled “Automatically
resize to fit content.”
The clipping indicator
appears when a table cell
contains more text than
can be seen.
