Chapter 9 Working with Table Cells 195

You can enlarge a cell so that it displays more content, or you can let the cell’s content

spill into adjacent blank cells.

To avoid clipping and spilling, you can set up a table so that all its cells automatically

shrink or expand in height to accommodate content by selecting “Automatically resize

to t content” in the Table inspector’s Table pane.

Here are ways to handle content too large for a cell:

To let the content in a cell spill into adjacent cells, deselect Wrap Text in the Table m

inspector’s Format pane and deselect “Automatically resize to t content” in the

Table pane.

If the adjacent cells are empty, they display spilled content. But if they contain data,

content that doesn’t t isn’t displayed, and the clipping indicator appears.

To make content wrap instead of spill, select Wrap in the format bar or Wrap Text in

the Table inspector’s Format pane.

To resize a column so that all of a particular cell’s value is visible, click its right border m

and drag right, or use the Column Width controls in the Table inspector’s Table pane.

To resize a row so that all of a particular cell’s value is visible, click its bottom border m

and drag down, or use the Row Height controls in the Table inspector.

Using Conditional Formatting to Monitor Table Cell Values

Conditional formatting changes a cell’s appearance when the cell contains a particular

value, referred to below as a test value.

To apply conditional formatting, you select one or more cells and then dene one or

more rules. The rules specify which visual eects to associate with cells when they

contain the test value.

For example, you can dene a rule that lls a cell with blue when it contains 0, a rule

that displays the cell’s value as boldface black if it’s greater than 0, and a rule that lls

the cell with red if its value is less than 0.

Rules applied to multiple cells trigger conditional formatting when any of the cells

contains the test value.

To learn how to Go to

Create rules “Dening Conditional Formatting Rules” on

page 196

Remove all conditional formatting from cells,

change rules, nd cells that use the same

conditional formatting, copy/paste conditional

formatting between tables
