Adding a Table to Your Label

Use a table when your label needs rows and columns — a price list, a spec sheet, a size chart, nutrition facts. A table is one element on the canvas, so you move, resize, copy, and layer it like anything else.

Add a Table#

1. Click Table in the toolbar
2. A 3 × 3 table appears on your label, with a header row on top
3. Drag it to move it, or drag its outer handles to make the whole table bigger or smaller (the text keeps its size)

A table can have up to 20 rows and 10 columns.

You can also ask the AI for one — "a price list table with item, size and price" — and use {Column} placeholders in its cells for bulk labels.

Type Directly in the Table#

You edit a table right on the canvas, like a spreadsheet:

• Click a cell to select it. Shift + click (or Shift + arrow keys) selects a range.
• Double-click, press Enter, or just start typing to edit a cell. Typing replaces what was there.
• Enter saves and moves down. Tab saves and moves right (Shift + Tab moves left).
• Delete clears the selected cells.
• Copy and paste cells with ⌘C / ⌘V (Ctrl on Windows). You can paste a block straight from Excel or Google Sheets. If the block is bigger than the table, the table grows to hold it (up to 20 rows and 10 columns).

Resize Rows and Columns#

Point at a line between two cells — it turns blue and your cursor changes. Drag it to resize that row or column. The other rows and columns keep their size, and the table grows or shrinks by the difference. A row also grows by itself if its text needs more room.

Double-click a line to fit it to the text: a line between columns fits the column on its left to its widest text, and a line between rows fits the row above to its text. It shrinks a column or row that's bigger than it needs, too.

The Properties Panel#

Select the table and the panel on the right has:

• Rows & columns — + Row, + Column, − Row, − Column. They act on the row or column of the selected cell.
• Header row — turn the header on or off, and style it (font, fill, text color, bold, italic, alignment, size).
• Cell — the same controls for the selected cell or cells. Anything you set here overrides the table's defaults for just those cells. You can also merge a selected range into one cell, and unmerge it later.
• Border — color and width of the grid lines. Set the width to 0 for no borders.

Tip: to restyle every cell at once, click any cell and press ⌘A (Ctrl + A) to select all cells.

You can also right-click a table cell for the same row, column, and merge actions.

Fill a Table From Your Data#

Type a column name in curly braces — like {Product} or {Price} — into any cell. Each name becomes a column in your data table, and every label gets its own values in those cells.

Example: a price table with a header row, then one row containing {Product} and {Price}. Print 50 labels and each shows its own product and price.

A name used in several cells is still just one column. If a row has no value for a name, that cell prints empty. Use Preview with data to check — see Previewing Your Data.

Common Questions#

Can I use the same column in a table and in a text element? Yes. Both use the same column in your data table.

Why did my table's rows get taller? A row grows when its text doesn't fit. Make the column wider, use a smaller font size, or shorten the text.
