Once the table has been added to your project, you can configure the size of the rows and columns by choosing the "cell options" option found in the table file. However, you can also perform this process manually, by placing the cursor on the border of the row or column you want to change.
Apply formats to your tables

Customize the font style of the tables
from toolbar of the table, you can change the font style by applying color shades to the text contained in the table. For these options to be visible, the table must be selected.
Within this same toolbar you will have the option to adjust the text size, add or remove indents, or choose bold and italics.
