| 1 | In tab-delimited text, each paragraph represents a row of the table, with tabs separating the contents of one cell from another. |
| 2 | To remove autonumbering, click in the paragraph you want to change and choose Format > Paragraphs > Designer. Choose Numbering from the Properties pop-up menu. Click the Autonumber Format check box twice to turn it off and then click Apply to Selection or Update All. |
| 3 | Select the columns to resize. Then either drag a handle at the right side of the column or choose Table > Resize Columns, enter a value in the To Width text box, and click Resize. |
| 4 | Drag from the cell containing the text, through the cells you want the text to straddle. Then choose Table > Straddle. |
| 5 | Click in the cell where you want to insert the tab and press Esc+Tab. (If you pressed only Tab, the insertion point would move to the next cell.) |
| 6 | Only ruling and shading that extend through the entire table or across one or more rows or columns in a repeating pattern can be created and applied with the Table Designer; they are then part of the table format. Ruling and shading that extend only partway across a table or that span individual cells are created and applied with the Custom Ruling and Shading dialog box. Such ruling and shading are not part of the table format. |
| 7 | The Table Continuation variable is a system variable that can be inserted in a title of a table to indicate that the table is continued from the previous page. |
