Answers
1 In tab-delimited text, each paragraph represents a row of the table, with tabs separating
the contents of one cell from another.
2 To remove autonumbering, click in the paragraph you want to change and choose
Format > Paragraphs > Designer. Choose Numbering from the Properties pop-up menu.
Click the Autonumber Format check box twice to turn it off and then click Apply to
Selection or Update All.
3 Select the columns to resize. Then either drag a handle at the right side of the column or
choose Table > Resize Columns, enter a value in the To Width text box, and click Resize.
4 Drag from the cell containing the text, through the cells you want the text to straddle.
Then choose Table > Straddle.
5 Click in the cell where you want to insert the tab and press Esc+Tab. (If you pressed
only Tab, the insertion point would move to the next cell.)
6 Only ruling and shading that extend through the entire table or across one or more rows
or columns in a repeating pattern can be created and applied with the Table Designer; they
are then part of the table format. Ruling and shading that extend only partway across a table
or that span individual cells are created and applied with the Custom Ruling and Shading
dialog box. Such ruling and shading are not part of the table format.
7 The Table Continuation variable is a system variable that can be inserted in a title of a
table to indicate that the table is continued from the previous page.
