• Browse to select an image for the cell background from the Picture File
Open dialog. See “Choosing an Image Format” on page 236. If the
picture is smaller than the cell, the browser tiles the image. If you select
a picture with a transparent color, the background color shows through.
To change the image, click the Browse button to the right of the field.
To apply text styles, see Chapter 13, “Designing with Text.”
6. To make the cell a form, select Cell is a form. See Chapter 29, “Designing and
Implementing Forms.”
7. Select Cell is a header to format the cell as a column or row heading. This
makes it easier for people with disabilities to read the table.
You can also add HTML code to a cell. See Chapter 31, “Working with HTML
Directly.”
Sizing Cells
To make a table cell shrink to fit the content in the cell:
1. Right-click in the cell you want to size.
2. Select Fit Cells from the shortcut menu.
The cell shrinks to fit the content.
Adding Text and Pictures to Cells
Working in a table cell is the same as working in a text box. You can:
• Add and format text. You can apply formats to all selected cells at one time. See
Chapter 13, “Designing with Text.”
• Embed objects. See “Embedding Objects in a Text Box” on page 143.
• Wrap text around objects. See “Wrapping Text around Objects” on page 145.
• Modify text box properties. See Chapter 9, “Working with Text Boxes.”
To select the contents of a cell:
• Double-click the cell.
Cross-hatching appears around the selected cell. You can edit the text in the cell
or change cell properties.
