Add text to a table

You can add text, anchored objects, XML tags, and other tables to table cells. The height of a table row expands to accommodate additional lines of text, unless you set a fixed row height. You cannot add footnotes to tables.

 Using the Type tool , do any of the following:
  • Position the insertion point in a cell, and type text. Press Enter or Return to create a new paragraph in the same cell. Press Tab to move forward through cells (pressing Tab in the last cell inserts a new row). Press Shift+Tab to move backwards through cells.

  • Copy text, position the insertion point in the table, and then choose Edit > Paste.

  • Position the insertion point where you want to add text, choose File > Place, and then double-click a text file.
