Nesting tables

A nested table is a table that has been inserted into a table cell. You can configure a nested table as you would any other table. However, its width is limited by the width of the cell in which it appears.

To nest a table within a table cell:

1 Do one of the following:
Click in the cell where you want the second table to appear and choose Insert > Table.
Click in the cell where you want the second table to appear and then click the Table button on the Common panel of the Object palette.
Drag the Table button on the Common panel of the Object palette to the cell where you want the second table to appear.
2 In the dialog box that appears, specify properties for the table and click OK.
