Creating Tables in InDesign

• “Table” > “Create Table”
• In table settings, make a 3 column, 4 row table with 1 header and 1 footer.
• Drag out the table to be 6 in by 6 in.
• Always use the “Text” tool when adjusted tables. Tables can be selected, just like type is.
• Select the top cells of the header and selected “Table” > “Merge Cells.” And do the same with the bottom row.
• Drag the lines of the rows to adjust their sizes.
• Add images by using “Command D” and make sure they are 2 inches. They can be resized by using “Object” > “Fitting.”
• “Table” > “Cell options” > “align center” and fill text and cell with a color.
• You can select all of the boxes and choose a font to make sure the same font goes in every box.
• Center the text vertically by going to “Table” > “Cell options” > “Text.”
