Table menu

The Table menu includes commands for adding rows and columns to tables, modifying table attributes, converting tables, and more.

  • Insert: Lets you add a row or column to a table.
  • Select: Lets you select a pattern of rows and columns or other table elements. This makes it easy to apply alternating formatting — such as shading every other row.
  • Delete: Lets you delete a selection from the table.
  • Combine Cells: Lets you combine a rectangular selection of adjacent table cells — including entire rows or columns — into a single cell.
  • Table Break: Lets you continue a table in another location. The table break is the maximum size the table can reach before it splits into two linked tables.
  • Make Separate Tables: Lets you sever the link between continued tables so each table becomes completely separate. This prevents changes to one portion of the table from affecting all the continued tables.
  • Repeat As Header: Lets you specify a header row to repeat automatically in continued instances of a table.
  • Repeat As Footer: Lets you specify a footer row to repeat automatically in continued instances of a table.
  • Convert Text to Table: Lets you convert text that has already been imported or typed into a text box to a table. This works best with text that is delimited in some way to indicate how to divide the information into columns and rows.
  • Convert Table: Lets you convert the information in a table to text or to a group of related boxes. You might convert a table for easy exporting of the current data or to save a document containing features that are not supported in earlier versions of QuarkXPress.
  • Link Text Cells: Lets you link table cells to each other just as text boxes and text paths can be linked. Text that is typed, imported, or pasted into a linked cell fills the first text cell, and then flows on to each subsequent linked cell.
  • Maintain Geometry: Lets you prevent the width and height of a table from changing when you insert or delete rows or columns.
