Formatting selected cells

You can format a selected cell to change its appearance. To do this:

1 Choose Table Operations > Format Cells.

2 Update the Format Cells form.

Layout	Alignment	The alignment of content within the cell. The first field affects vertical alignment and the second affects horizontal alignment.
	Padding	The number of pixels of space around all sides of the content in the cell.
	Column width	The width of the column in which the cell is located. Use the second field to specify this as a percent of the total table width or as an absolute value in pixels. Tip If you want one column to stay the same size, but allow the other columns to resize with the window, make that column fixed width and the other columns a percent. Columns have a default minimum width. You can neither make the column narrower than that minimum, nor widen it so much that another column would become narrower than the minimum. You also can't widen the rightmost column without first making the table narrower.
	Row starts new page	Places the row containing the cell on a new printed page or slide in a presentation.
Borders	Horizontal	Makes the cell's bottom border visible. Set the border width in the next field. If this border is part of the exterior table border, it won't be affected by these fields.
	Vertical	Makes the cell's right border visible. Set the border width in the next field. If this border is part of the exterior table border, it won't be affected by these fields.
Background	Adds the background color you specify to the cell. Select "Use color", then choose the color you want. Click a color on the color palette or, for a custom color, type the red, green, and blue values.
