Note: With this option selected, table rows automatically get bigger when text

extends beyond a 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, Keynote tries to keep the outside dimensions of the table the same when

you add rows and columns.
