Re: A few questions about creating tables in Pages with Mavericks

OK, I'll have a look once again.  Sorry for all of the questions. 
Especially with me being a dev, I confess, these are things that I should 
have looked at more thoroughly.

Hi Chris,
cmd-option-i will toggle the inspector, which is labeled as the 
“formatter,” when open. One of the options in this group is a whole bunch 
of table and cell settings.

Hi Chris,
Sorry I don't have the time right now to go into a detailed look, but I 
think that the table menu and possibly the inspector are the kinds of 
areas you want to look at. I think you can make changes to cells, and 
certainly you can add columns and rows from them.

All the best,
Zack.

I have a couple of questions about creating tables in Pages.

First of all, I noticed that by default when I inserted a table, and

So, how do I either insert rows, or columns as well as how do I remove 
them if needed?


Second question is, how can I query the size of a cell to make sure 
that my text isn’t going to be too long and run outside the border 
boundaries of the cell?  Will the cells automatically compensate, or 
do I have to somehow stretch them?  I know a sighted person could grab 
their little handle with a mouse and drag to stretch them, but that 
obviously doesn’t work for people like us.


Anyway, any thoughts would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris.

Re: A few questions about creating tables in Pages with Mavericks

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

I recall with the inspector there being an issue in the past where you 
couldn't get to the tabs, which actually showed up as  radio buttons to go 
from screen to screen unless you did a vo+up arrow.  I don't exactly 
remember the trick though of where you had to be focused before doing the 
vo+up arrow though.  Is the inspector still this way, or has that seemed to 
be fixed.

Re: A few questions about creating tables in Pages with Mavericks

Actually, you know what?  I did see the formatter earlier when I was 
exploring the layout.  I wondered what that was.  Mine was already on the 
screen when I first launched Pages, so maybe I just need to go in there and 
look a little bit more thoroughly.

Re: A few questions about creating tables in Pages with Mavericks

[Zachary Kline]

Hi Chris,
cmd-option-i will toggle the inspector, which is labeled as the “formatter,” 
when open. One of the options in this group is a whole bunch of table and cell 
settings.
Best,
Zack.

OK, can you refresh my memory on how to toggle the inspector?  I'm drawing a 
blank.

Hi Chris,
Sorry I don't have the time right now to go into a detailed look, but I 
think that the table menu and possibly the inspector are the kinds of 
areas you want to look at. I think you can make changes to cells, and 
certainly you can add columns and rows from them.

All the best,
Zack.

First of all, I noticed that by default when I inserted a table, and 
selected basic, it made 4 columns and 5 rows if I remember correctly. 
So, how do I either insert rows, or columns as well as how do I remove 
them if needed?


Second question is, how can I query the size of a cell to make sure that 
my text isn’t going to be too long and run outside the border boundaries 
of the cell?  Will the cells automatically compensate, or do I have to 
somehow stretch them?  I know a sighted person could grab their little 
handle with a mouse and drag to stretch them, but that obviously doesn’t 
work for people like us.


Anyway, any thoughts would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris.

Hi Chris,
Sorry I don't have the time right now to go into a detailed look, but I think 
that the table menu and possibly the inspector are the kinds of areas you want 
to look at. I think you can make changes to cells, and certainly you can add 
columns and rows from them.
All the best,
