Working with text in tables

You can easily add text to table cells. The text in table cells is treated as paragraph text. Therefore, you can modify the table text as you would other paragraph text. For example, you can change the font, add bullets, or indents. For more information about formatting text, see “Adding and formatting text.” You can also add tab stops in table cells to shift the text away from the cell margins.

When you type text in a new table, you can also choose to automatically adjust the size of table cells.
