If you select Other, a field appears to the right of the pop-up menu. Enter the
delimiter that was used to separate the table data.
Note: If you do not select (or specify) the delimiter used when the file was saved, the file
will not import properly, and your data will not be correctly formatted in a table. No error
or warning message displays to alert that there is a problem.

Selecting table elements
With a single gesture you can select an entire table, row, or column, or a
contiguous range of cells within the table. Once the table or individual cells are
selected, you can do the following:
•
Modify the appearance of selected cells or the text contained in them. See
“Formatting tables and cells” on page 189.
•
Copy and paste adjacent cells. See “Copying and pasting cells” on page 199.
You can also select multiple nonadjacent cells in a table and modify the properties
of those cells. You cannot copy or paste nonadjacent cell selections.
