Add graphics to a table

For a video on placing images into a table, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0083.

 Do any of the following:
  • Position the insertion point where you want the graphic, choose File > Place, and then double-click the graphic’s filename.

  • Position the insertion point where you want the graphic, choose Object > Anchored Object > Insert, and then specify settings. You can later add a graphic to the anchored object.

  • Copy a graphic or a frame, position the insertion point, and then choose Edit > Paste.

When you add a graphic that is larger than the cell, the cell height expands to accommodate the graphic, but the width of the cell doesn’t change—the graphic may extend beyond the right side of the cell. If the row in which the graphic is placed is set to a fixed height, a graphic that is taller than the row height causes the cell to be overset.

To avoid an overset cell, you may want to place the image outside the table, resize the image, and then paste it into the table cell.
