Freeway Reference: Working with Tables

179

To position a table numerically using page coordinates

1. Select the table.

2. In the Item General panel in the Inspector palette, use the X and Y values to enter the offset

across and down from the top left corner of the page to the top left corner of the table. You can

press the Tab key while you are editing to move between fields in the Inspector palette, and press

Return when you are finished to accept the changes.

Resizing tables

Tables may be resized by dragging with the mouse or by entering a new width and height using the Item General panel in the

Inspector palette. It isn’t possible to resize a table smaller than its contents.

It’s important to note that many of the actions performed on individual rows, columns, or cells in the table may also affect the overall

size. For example, the right column or bottom-most row may be resized by dragging the right or bottom edge of the table and this will

affect the size of the table as a whole.

To resize a table using the mouse

1. Select the table by Alt-Command-clicking on a cell so that the table’s selection handles appear.

2. Using the Selection tool, point to a handle so that the cursor becomes a tail-less black pointer.

3. Click and drag to resize the table. All the rows and columns in the table will be resized in proportion.

To resize a table using numeric values

1. Select the table.

2. In the Item General panel in the Inspector palette, use the W and H values to enter new width and height for the table. You can

press the Tab key while you are editing to move between fields in the Inspector palette, and press Return when you are finished

to accept the changes.

Selecting table cells, rows, and columns

When working with cell background color or when joining and splitting cells in your table, you first need to select the cells with which

you wish to work. In addition, when joining cells which have different content or background color, you need to be able to specify

which cell’s settings are retained.

Freeway allows you to select one or more cells in the table, even if the selected cells are not adjacent or touching.

When selecting more than one cell, the first cell selected is marked as the “master” cell in the selection. If performing the Join Cells

command, it is this cell whose settings and content will be used

as a basis for the new span (see Joining and Splitting Cells on page

184 for more explanation).

When more than one cell is selected, the master cell is shown

using a thick gray outline, and the rest of the cells in the

selection are denoted by a lighter gray outline.

Freeway also allows you to select entire rows or columns quickly

by clicking at the top or left-hand edge—a small solid arrow is

displayed to show that when you click, a row or column will be

selected.

To select a cell

Using the Selection tool, click on the cell you wish to select. You can move the cell selection using the Tab and arrow keys.

This table’s top row has

been selected, and shows

the master cell with the

solid gray border. Note the

small solid arrow used to

select complete rows or

columns.
