Adding Objects to Tables

After you insert a table on a page, you can insert objects into the table's cells, including freehand objects, geometric shapes, straight lines and arcs, text and graphic files.

NOTE: You can add only one object to each cell. If you want to add multiple objects to a cell, group the objects before inserting them into the table.

To add an object a table

Select the object.
Drag the object to the table cell.

NOTE: You're unable to move an object if it's locked in place.

The object appears in the table cell.

NOTES

If you add a text object to a table, the cell resizes to fit to the text object. If you add other object types to the table, the object resizes to fit the cell.

If you add a flash object to a table, you can control the object by right-clicking on the Adobe Flash object and then selecting Flash > Play and Flash > Rewind.

To remove an object from a table

Select the object.
Drag the object out of the table.

To paste a table from other programs

You can cut or copy a table from Microsoft Word software, and then paste it into a .notebook file as a table. If you want to cut or copy more than one table from Microsoft Word software, you must cut or copy each table individually.

NOTE: You can also cut or copy a table from a .notebook file and then paste it into Microsoft Word software. However, the table's formatting and layout may vary when it appears in the Word document.

You can cut or copy a table from Microsoft PowerPoint software and then paste it into a .notebook file as an image. You are unable to paste it as a table object, or edit or manipulate the contents of the cells after the table appears on the page.

NOTE: You can also cut or copy a table from a .notebook file and then paste it into Microsoft PowerPoint software. However, if the cell's contents are not text objects, these objects appear in Microsoft PowerPoint software as separate objects to the table. You are unable to include non-text objects in table cells in Microsoft PowerPoint software.
