Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode: a seminar schedule table with a header row, content typed cell by cell, and column widths adjusted. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Tables in InDesign are always inside a text frame, like a large character. Therefore, the table flows with the text and can move to the next page.
Step 1: Insert Table
Open the seminar schedule file. Click in the empty row below the title with the Type tool. Select table, insert table. Fill body rows 8, columns 3, and header rows 1, then OK. The table appears as wide as the text frame.
Step 2: Fill Cells
Click in the first cell and type the time. Press Tab to move to the next cell and type the activity, then the location. Tab within a table is used to move between cells, not to insert a tab character. Continue filling the schedule, time, activity name, and location for each row.
Step 3: Fill the Next Row
If the table has insufficient rows, pressing Tab in the last cell automatically adds a new row.
Step 4: Selecting Cells, Rows, and Columns
Position the cursor on the left edge of the table until it changes to an arrow, then click to select one row. At the top edge, the downward arrow selects one column. Ctrl Alt A selects the entire table.
Step 5: Column Width
Position the cursor on the column divider until it changes to a double-headed arrow, then drag. The time column is quite narrow, the activity column is the widest. Hold Shift while dragging to ensure the total table width remains unchanged. Open the table panel to adjust size numerically, number of rows and columns, row height, column width, and cell inset.
Step 6: Table Panel
Fill the time column width to 20 mm for precision.
Done!
Done. We've created a table using insert table, filling cells with Tab, selecting rows and columns, adjusting column width by dragging, and using the table panel. In the next episode, we will format cells with color, lines, and inset. Need a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report layout design?
