Drawing a nested layout table
You can draw a layout table inside another layout table, to create a nested table. The cells inside a
nested table are isolated from changes made to the outer table; for example, when you change the
size of a row or column in the outer table, the cells in the inner table don't change size.
You can insert multiple levels of nested tables. A nested layout table cannot be larger than the
table that contains it.
Note: If you draw a layout table in the middle of your page before drawing a layout cell, the table you
draw is automatically nested inside a larger table.
