Add objects to table cells

You can paste text that includes photos, video, and shapes into table cells. The object must be set to “Move with Text,” and the text wrap set to “Inline with Text.”

  1. Select the object or the text that contains the inline object, then choose Edit > Cut or Edit > Copy (from the Edit menu at the top of your screen).

  2. Click the cell, then choose Edit > Paste.
