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.

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. |
