You can also add graphics to table cells. When you add a graphic that is larger than the
cell, the cell height expands to accommodate the graphic, but the width of the cell does
not change—the graphic may extend beyond the right side of the cell. If the row in which
the graphic is placed is set to a fixed height, a graphic that is taller than the row height
causes the cell to be overset. For more information on overset text in a table, see
with overset cells" on page

Using the type tool , do any of the following:
Place the insertion point in a cell, and type text. Press Enter or Return to create a new

Moving around in a table
You can navigate from one cell to the next using the mouse or keyboard. You can also
specify which rows you want to jump to—a feature that is especially useful in long tables.
If the table is at the top of a text frame and you want text to precede the table,
place the insertion point at the beginning of the first cell, press the left arrow key, and
begin typing.
To move to the next or previous cell:
Do any of the following:
Press Tab to move to the next cell. If you press Tab in the last table cell, a new row is
•
created. (For information on inserting tabs, see
page 161.)
Press Shift+Tab to move to the previous cell. If you press Shift+Tab in the first table cell,
•
the insertion point moves to the last table cell.
Press the arrow keys to navigate within and between table cells. If you press the right
•
arrow key when the insertion point is at the end of the last cell in a row, the insertion
point moves to the beginning of the first cell in the same row. Similarly, if you press the
down arrow key when the insertion point is at the end of the last cell in a column, the
insertion point moves to the beginning of the first cell in the same column.
