Selecting Tables

To format a table, you need to know how to select it and its elements. As we discussed in the previous chapter, tables are always contained within a text frame. To perform any selection, you must start by choosing the Type tool.

Selecting Cells

If you want to select a single cell, click an insertion point or select text with the Type tool, then choose Cell from the Select submenu (under the Table menu or from the context menu). Or, faster, just press the Escape (Esc) key.
