Before and after dragging to resize rows
By default, row height is determined by the slug height of the current font. Thus, row height also changes if you change the point size of type for
entire rows of text, or if you change the row height setting. The maximum row height is determined by the Maximum setting in the Rows And
Columns section of the Cell Options dialog box.
Resize rows or columns without changing the table width
Hold down Shift while dragging an inside row or column edge (not the table boundary). One row or column gets bigger as the other gets
smaller.
To resize rows or columns proportionally, hold down Shift while dragging the right table border or bottom table edge.
Holding down Shift while dragging the right table edge will resize all the columns proportionally; holding down Shift while dragging the bottom table
edge will resize all rows proportionally.
Resize the entire table
Using the Type tool , position the pointer over the lower-right corner of the table so that the pointer becomes an arrow shape , and then
drag to increase or decrease the table size. Hold down Shift to maintain the table’s height and width proportions.
If the table spans more than one frame in a story, you cannot use the pointer to resize the entire table.
Distribute columns and rows evenly
1. Select cells in the columns or rows that should be the same width or height.
2. Choose Table > Distribute Rows Evenly or Distribute Columns Evenly.
Change the spacing before or after a table
1. Place the insertion point in the table and choose Table > Table Options > Table Setup.
2. Under Table Spacing, specify different values for Space Before and Space After, and then click OK.
Note that changing the spacing before the table does not affect the spacing of a table row that falls at the top of a frame.
Break tables across frames
Use Keep options to determine how many rows should remain together, or to specify where a row breaks, such as at the top of a column or frame.
