A nested table is a table within a table. You can configure a nested table as you would any other table; however, its width is limited by the width of the cell in which it appears.
To nest a table within a table cell:
| 1 | Do one of the following: |
 |
Click in the cell where you want to insert the second table and choose Insert > Table. |
|
Click in the cell where you want to insert the second table, then click the Table button on the Common panel of the Object palette. |
|
Drag the Table button on the Common panel of the Object palette to the cell where you want to insert the second table. |
| 2 | Specify the table properties in the Insert Table dialog box, and click OK. |
