Hey everyone and Welcome to How to Add and Format Tables Within InDesign! • My name is Wendy Litteral of CreationDepot and I'm going to break this up into a few parts, starting with the ultimate basics on how to insert a table, then how to do basic formatting, then styling, and then setting actual styles within InDesign. • So! If you need to skip ahead hit up the description box below for the time stamps: • 00:56 - Inserting a Table • 04:10 - Working Within a Table • 07:16 - Styling a Table • 12:54 - Table Styles • 17:41 - Cell Styles • Before we get started I'm going to ask that you please make the YouTube gods happy with a like, a subscribe, or a comment! • ********** • Help me make the YouTube gods happy with a sub! • / @wendylitteral • Free About Me Page Template: • http://eepurl.com/dMOCmQ • View it on the Blog: • https://www.creationdepot.com/format-... • ********** • Outline: • How to create the table • open a new page or your document • draw yourself a text frame using the type tool or select where you want your table to be in your existing text; just make sure you see a cursor • go to your menu, table, insert table or ctrl-alt-shift-t (cmd alt shift t on mac) • within the insert table dialog box choose your inital table dimensions - you can always change this later, just get yourself something to work with • header rows are rows that stay on the top of your table, even if it rolls over to another page ---- as it in repeats on every new page • same with footer rows • choose your table style (if it's a new doc you're not going to have a choice, but you can make one right now if you want to. We'll cover how to do that next anyway, but this is a shortcut way to access setting up table styles.) • OK • Working With Tables • How to add more rows or columns • to add more rows • -- can do it from the control panel • -- if you're at the end of the table and need a few more rows, just hit tab until you get as many as you need. • --alternatively you can right click and add more • to add more columns, you have to right click and add more • clicking within a cell • selecting a whole row or column • how to move entire columns or rows • How to Style the Table • show by example • click T in Swatches to set colors for text or background • show how to set cell and table styles • How to Set Table Cell Height • drag and set style • set it in the Control Panel at the top • How to Style Borders Using Stroke Menu • -- triple click to deselect all strokes; and then you can just turn on the ones you want • Extra tips: • merged cells (works the same as google docs and office products like word and excel) • -- highlight the ones you want to merge or unmerge and click the button in control panel • keep with next row - keeps your text together which is a god send when you're doing your pagination (layouts) in larger docs
