Nest a table in a table cell

Learn how to nest a table in a table cell in Adobe FrameMaker.

To nest a table in a table cell, do the following:

1. Click in the cell in which you want to nest a table.

2. Choose Insert > Anchored Frame.

   For unstructured documents, this command creates an anchored frame that’s anchored below the current line. Try to set the width and height of the frame to be slightly larger than the width and height of the table you want to insert.

   For structured documents, this command inserts an element. Choose a frame element from the Element Tag drop-down list in the Anchored Frame panel. Select a graphic element for empty anchored frames in the Elements catalog, and click New Frame.

3. If the anchored frame is wider than the cell, resize the column.

4. Use the Text Frame tool on the Tools panel to draw a text frame in the anchored frame.

5. Click in the text frame and choose Table > Insert Table.
