Working with Text in Table Cells

You can control the format and alignment of text in table cells, and you can use nd-

and-replace and spell-checking features.

When you type text into a cell, Pages displays text that might be used to complete the

cell content based on similar text elsewhere in the table. You can use the suggested

text if it’s appropriate, or you can keep typing to override suggestions. To disable auto-

suggestions, deselect “Show auto-completion list in table columns” in the General pane

of Pages preferences.

Here are techniques for working with text in table cells:

To insert a line break, press Option-Return. m

To insert a paragraph break, if “Return key moves to next cell” below Table Options in m

the Table inspector isn’t selected, press Return. Otherwise, press Option-Return.

To insert a tab in a table, press Option-Tab. m

To adjust text alignment, use the alignment buttons in the format bar. m

Align text to the left, center, right; justify text; or

align text to the left and numbers to the right.

Align text to the top, middle,

or bottom of cells.

The Text inspector gives you additional text formatting options (click Inspector in the

toolbar and click the Text inspector button).

See “Setting Text Alignment, Spacing, and Color” on page 90 for more information.

To control font attributes, use the text formatting buttons in the format bar. m
