Add objects to table cells

You can paste objects (photos, video, and shapes), and text that includes objects, into table cells. To paste text with an object, the object must first be set to “Move with Text” (in the Arrange tab of the sidebar on the right), and the text wrap for the object set to “Inline with Text” (which makes it an inline object). For information about adding inline objects to text, see Place objects with text.

Paste text, or text with objects, into table cells

  1. Select the object or the text that contains the object, then tap Cut or Copy (cut removes it from its original location).

  2. Double-tap the cell, tap and hold where you want to add the content, then tap Paste.

When you paste a movie in a cell, only the poster image shows—the movie doesn’t play. However, the movie properties are retained so that if you copy and paste the movie elsewhere, it will play in its new location.

Remove an object from a table cell

You can also fill the background of a cell with an image, so text flows over it.
