Resizing and moving layout tables

A layout table cannot be resized to be smaller than the smallest rectangle containing all of its cells. A layout table also cannot be resized so that it overlaps other tables or cells.

To resize or move layout cells, see Resizing and moving layout cells.

To resize a layout table:

1. Select a table by clicking the tab at the top of the table.

   Selection handles appear around the table.

2. Drag the selection handles to resize the table.

   The table edges automatically snap to align with the edges of other cells and tables.

To move a layout table:

1. Select a table by clicking the tab at the top of the table.

   Selection handles appear around the table.

   NOTE

   You can move a layout table only if it’s nested inside another layout table.

2. Do one of the following:
   • Drag the table to another location on the page.
   • Press the arrow keys to move the table 1 pixel at a time.

     TIP

     Hold down Shift while pressing an arrow key to move the table 10 pixels at a time.
