How to Use Tables

Tables are perfect for displaying structured data in rows and columns.

How to Create a Table

  1. Position your cursor where you want the table
  2. Click the table icon in your editor toolbar
  3. Select your table size from the grid
  4. Add your content to the cells

Add, Remove, and Merge

With a table selected you can insert rows above or below, insert columns left or right, delete rows and columns, and merge cells into one.

Customizing Your Tables

Select a table to open its style panel. It has three tabs: Table, Header Row, and Data Cells.

Table

  • Spacing Around Table. The space above and below the table (Top / Bottom).
  • Outer Border Thickness. The Border around the whole table, on each side.
  • Trim Top Spacing on Page Start. Removes the top spacing when the table starts a new page so it sits flush with the top margin. (Print only.)

Header Row

  • Colors. Background and Text Color for the header row. Leave either on Default to use your theme color.
  • Text. The header’s Font and Size.
  • Style. Weight, and Transform (None or CAPS).
  • Border Thickness. Bottom (the line under the header) and Column (the lines between header columns).
  • Spacing. Inside Cells padding, on each side.
  • Behavior. Repeat Header shows the header row again at the top of every page when a table runs long.

Data Cells

  • Text. The Font and Size for the body cells.
  • Border Thickness. Row (lines between rows) and Column (lines between columns).
  • Spacing. Inside Cells padding, on each side.

Using Presets

Save and reuse table styles with presets so every table in your book matches.

Finding Tables

Use the Elements tab in the section sidebar to find every table and jump to it.
