Tips

• Place a table on the bottom half of the sheet to flip the column labels to the bottom of the table. The numbered rows are ordered from bottom to top.
• Press the Shift key to lock or unlock the table flipping feature.
• Click to select the table, then drag the grey round grips to resize rows and columns.
• Select the table, then click and drag the blue arrow grip to break the table into multiple table sections, or to consolidate multiple sections into a single table section.
• The text size in a revision history table matches the text height specified in Document Settings. When the text height is too large to fit in a revision history table on a sheet, the text height may scale to a smaller size.
