Outline:
How to create the table
- open a new page or your document
- draw yourself a text frame using the type tool or select where you want your table to be in your existing text; just make sure you see a cursor
- go to your menu, table, insert table or ctrl-alt-shift-t (cmd alt shift t on mac)
- within the "insert table" dialog box choose your inital table dimensions - you can always change this later, just get yourself something to work with
- header rows are rows that stay on the top of your table, even if it rolls over to another page ---- as it in repeats on every new page
- same with footer rows
- choose your table style (if it's a new doc you're not going to have a choice, but you can make one right now if you want to. We'll cover how to do that next anyway, but this is a shortcut way to access setting up table styles.)
- OK
Working With Tables
How to add more rows or columns
- to add more rows
-- can do it from the control panel
-- if you're at the end of the table and need a few more rows, just hit tab until you get as many as you need.
--alternatively you can right click and add more
- to add more columns, you have to right click and add more
- clicking within a cell
- selecting a whole row or column
- how to move entire columns or rows
How to Style the Table
- show by example
- click T in Swatches to set colors for text or background
- show how to set cell and table styles
How to Set Table Cell Height
- drag and set style
- set it in the Control Panel at the top
How to Style Borders Using Stroke Menu
-- triple click to deselect all strokes; and then you can just turn on the ones you want
Extra tips:
- merged cells (works the same as google docs and office products like word and excel)
-- highlight the ones you want to merge or unmerge and click the button in control panel
- keep with next row - keeps your text together which is a god send when you're doing your pagination (layouts) in larger docs
