Expanding the height of a cell in a table
!
The way in which you align your table determines the way in which cells expand and contract
horizontally.
• The cells of left aligned tables expand to the right.
• The cells of right aligned tables expand to the left.
• The cells of center aligned tables expand from the center out.
Equalize column widths
You may have a variety of cells of varying widths, to equalize them:
1. Select the cells you wish to equalize.
2. Click the Balance Cell Widths button on the Table Cells palette or choose the menu command
Table > Distribute Columns Evenly.

Equalized, or balanced, means precisely that. If you select cells in which one of the words extends
the width of the cell and then balance the cells, the text in the wider cell will wrap.
