Filling Table Cells with Color or Images
You can add background images, solid color, or a color gradient to individual
table cells or to an entire table, depending on what you have selected when you add
the background.
To replace an image that’s been used as a background, or to change a color fill, repeat
these steps.
To add or change a background image or color:
1
Select an entire table or one or more table cells.
2
Click Inspector in the toolbar and click the Table inspector button to open the
Table inspector.
3
Click Table in the Table inspector, and then do any of the following:
To add an image, choose Image Fill from the Cell Background pop-up menu. Select
Â
an image and then select how you would like it to be displayed.
To add background color, choose Color Fill or Gradient Fill from the Cell Background
Â
pop-up menu and make your color selections.
To add a background image with a tinted color over the top of it, choose Tinted
Â
Image Fill from the Cell Background pop-up menu, and then select an image
and a color.
Filling table cells with images or color works the same way as filling a shape. For
detailed instructions, see the topics below “Filling Objects with Colors or Images” on
page 100.
After you’ve placed an image in the background of a cell or table, or filled it with color,
anything you type within a cell appears over the image or color fill.
