To constrain the table's proportions, press the Shift key as you drag. 77 Selecting Table Cells and Borders You enter text in a table cell by typing it. You put graphics in tables by inserting them in individual cells, the same way you fill an object with an image. (For information about adding graphics or setting background colors inside table cells, see "Adding Images or Background Colors" on page 86. ) You can apply changes to an entire table at once (by selecting it) or to individual cells.

Pressing Tab moves you to the right and downward; pressing Shift-Tab moves the selection to the left or upwards. If you press the Tab key when the bottom-right cell of the table is selected, a new row is added to the table.
