In QuarkXPress, a table is a distinct item, like a text box, picture box, text path, or line. When working with tables, you can pretty much think of a cell as an individual picture box, text box, or no-content box, and you can handle cells in much the same way you handle these other items. To work with elements of the table itself — such as rows and columns — use the Table menu.
