Chapter 8 Using Tables 185

Using a Footer Row

Use a footer row when you want to draw attention to the last row in a table. A footer

row can contain the same content as any other row, but its formatting makes it visually

prominent.

Here are ways to add or delete a footer row:

m Select the table, and then select Footer Row in the Table pane of the Table Inspector.

m Select the table and then choose Format > Table > Add Footer Row or Format >

Table > Delete Footer Row from the Table menu

Resizing Table Rows and Columns

Resize all rows and columns so they’re equal in size, or resize only specific rows and

columns in a table.

Here are ways to resize rows and columns:

m To make all rows the same size, select the table and choose Format > Table > Distribute

Rows Evenly.

m To make all columns the same size, choose Format > Table > Distribute Columns Evenly.

m To resize a single row, select a cell in the row and use the Row Height field in the Table

Inspector.

m To resize a single column, select a cell in the column and use the Column Width field in

the Table Inspector.

m To make several rows the same size, select one or more cells in the rows and choose

Format > Table > Distribute Rows Evenly. The rows don’t have to be adjacent.

You can also use the Row Height field in the Table pane of the Table Inspector.

m To make several columns the same size, select one or more cells in the columns and

choose Format > Table > Distribute Columns Evenly. The columns don’t have to be

adjacent.

You can also use the Column Width field in the Table pane of the Table Inspector.

Alternating Row Colors

Use a different color background for alternate rows to give a table a banded effect.

To alternate row colors:

1 Select the table.

2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Table Inspector button, and then click Table.

3 Select Alternating Row Color.

4 Click the adjacent color well to open the Colors Window, and then choose a color for

the alternate rows. See “Using the Colors Window” on page 148 for instructions.
