Resize and move layout cells and tables

To adjust your page layout, you can move and resize layout cells and nested layout tables. (The outermost layout table can only be resized.)

When you move or resize layout cells, they cannot overlap. Furthermore, you cannot move or resize a cell to make it cross the boundaries of the layout table that contains it. A layout cell cannot be made smaller than its contents.

Resize a layout cell

Select a cell by clicking an edge of the cell or by Control‑clicking (Windows) or Command‑clicking (Macintosh) anywhere in the cell.
Drag a selection handle to resize the cell.

The cell edges automatically snap to align with other cells’ edges.
