Resize table rows and columns in Pages on Mac (1)

You can change the width of selected columns and the height of selected rows in a table, or you can resize all rows or columns at the same time. However, you can’t change the width or height of individual table cells.

Note: The tasks below apply to a table you add to your page. They don’t apply to a page you formatted into columns.

Resize table rows or columns manually

  1. Click the table.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Resize a row or column: Move the pointer below the row number or to the right of the column letter until you see Resize table rows and columns in Pages on Mac (2), then drag to resize.

    • Resize multiple rows or columns: Select the rows or columns, then move the pointer below the bottommost row number or to the right of the rightmost column letter until you see Resize table rows and columns in Pages on Mac (3), then drag to resize. They’re resized proportionally.

    • Resize all rows or columns in a table: Click Resize table rows and columns in Pages on Mac (4) in the top-left corner of the table, then drag the white square at the bottom edge of the table to resize rows; drag the square on the right edge of the table to resize columns; or drag the square in the bottom-right corner to resize both.

      As you drag, yellow alignment guides may appear when a table’s rows or columns align with rows or columns in another table on the canvas.

Note: If the content of cells doesn’t fit after resizing, you can adjust rows or columns so that it does. See the task below to learn how.

Resize a table row or column precisely

  1. Click a cell in the row or column you want to resize.

  2. In the Format Resize table rows and columns in Pages on Mac (5)sidebar, click the Table tab.

  3. In Row & Column Size, click the Height and Width arrows to set the size you want.

    The entire row or column is resized. Selecting cells from more than one row or column resizes all of the rows or columns included in the selection.

Size a table row or column to fit its contents

  1. Click the table.

  2. Move the pointer to the right of the row number or column letter, click the arrow, then choose Fit Height to Content or Fit Width to Content from the menu that appears.

Make table rows or columns the same size

  1. To make some rows or columns the same size, select the rows or columns; to make all the rows or columns the same size, click the table, then click Resize table rows and columns in Pages on Mac (7) in its top-left corner.

  2. Choose Format> Table> DistributeRowsEvenly orDistributeColumnsEvenly (from the Format menu at the top of your screen).
