Drawing a nested layout table

You can draw a layout table in an already existing layout table (this creates a nested table). The cells inside a nested table are not constrained by the rows and columns of the outer table. You can insert multiple nested tables.

To draw a nested table:

1	Click the Draw Layout Table button in the Layout category of the Objects panel. The mouse pointer will turn into a plus sign (+).
2	Position the mouse pointer inside the gray space of an existing layout table, then click and drag your mouse to create the nested layout table.

A nested layout table cannot be larger than the table that contains it.
