Setting the Convert Tables to Layers dialog box options

The purpose of this dialog box is to convert tables to layers.

To complete the Convert Tables to Layers dialog box:

Specify any of the following options:
Show Grid and Snap to Grid let you use a grid to help position layers (see Using a tracing image).
Prevent Layer Overlaps constrains the positions of layers when they are created, moved, and resized so that they don’t overlap (see Preventing layer overlaps).
Show Layer Palette displays the Layers panel (see Using the Layers panel).
Click OK.

The tables are converted to layers. Empty cells are not converted to layers unless they have background colors.

NOTE

Page elements that were outside of tables are also placed in layers.
