Add and edit a table in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro
When you add a table, you choose from a number of predesigned styles that match your theme. After you add a table, you can customize it however you like.
You can use the keyboard to enter the type of data you want (letters, numbers, or symbols). You can also copy and paste content into cells from somewhere else.
Note: If you can’t add content to a table, make sure it’s unlocked. Select the table, then tap

Create a table from existing cells
When you create a new table from cells in an existing table, the original cell data is moved, not copied. The original table is left with empty cells, which you can delete.
Select the cells with the data you want to use to create the new table.
Pinch and hold the selection until it appears to lift, then drag it to a new position on the slide.
Add or remove rows and columns
You can add, delete, move, and resize rows and columns in a table. There are three types of rows and columns:
Body rows and columns contain the table data.
Header rows and columns (if any) appear at the top and left side of the table. They usually have a different background color from the body rows, and they’re typically used to identify what the row or column contains.
Footer rows (if any) appear at the bottom of a table, and they can have a different background color from the body rows.
Tap the table.
Do any of the following:
Add or delete rows or columns at the edge of the table: Tap
Change the number of rows or columns in the table: Select the table, tap
Insert or delete a row or column within the table: Tap the row number or column letter, tap
.
You may not be able to delete a row or column if all its cells aren’t empty.
Add or remove header rows and columns
Header rows and columns appear at the top and left side of the table. They usually have a different background color from the body rows, and they’re typically used to identify what the row or column contains. Footer rows appear at the bottom of a table, and they can have a different background color from the body rows.
Adding header rows, header columns, and footer rows converts existing rows or columns to headers or footers. For example, if you have data in the first row of a table and you add a header row, the first row is converted to a header that contains the same data. Data in header cells isn’t used in calculations.
Tap the table, tap
Tap
Lock or unlock a table
You can lock a table so that it can’t be edited, moved, or deleted.
Lock a table: Tap the table, tap
Unlock a table: Tap the table, tap
Add content
Add content to an empty cell: Tap or double-tap it so you see the insertion point and the keyboard, then start typing.
Edit content: Tap or double-tap the cell to make the insertion point appear. To move the insertion point, pinch and drag it where you want to type.
Add an object to a cell: Tap an object in your presentation, then tap Cut or Copy. Tap the cell where you want to add the object, tap the cell again, then tap Paste.
By default, Keynote scales the object to fit in the cell as an image fill (background). To change the object’s size, you can resize the row.
Format cells
By default, Keynote formats table cells automatically, so letters and numbers appear the way you type them. But you can format table cells to display specific types of data, like numbers, currency, percentages, date and time, and durations denoting a span of time (for example, “3 weeks 4 days 2 hours”). If you change the data format for a cell, you can always revert back to the automatic format.
Select the cells or table you want to format.
Tap
If you want to make more changes, tap
Wrap text to fit in a cell
If a cell isn’t wide enough to display all the text in the cell, you can wrap the text so it appears on multiple lines in the cell.
Wrap text in a single cell: Tap the cell, or select a row or column, tap
Merge cells
Merging table cells combines adjacent cells into a single cell. Unmerging cells that were previously merged retains all the data in the new top-left cell.
You can’t merge cells that aren’t adjacent or that are from different areas of the table—for example, the body and the header. You can’t merge columns or rows.
Tap
If you don’t see the option to merge the cells, tap the selection.
These are the results of merging cells:
If only one of the cells contains content prior to merging, the merged cell retains the content and formatting of that cell.
If multiple cells contain content before merging, all the content is retained, but cells with a specific data format, such as numbers, currency, or dates, are converted to text.
If a fill color is applied to the top-left cell, the merged cell takes on that fill color.
Clear content from a cell or range of cells
Select the cell or select a range of cells, tap
Insert a line break or tab into text in a table cell
You can insert a line break to type multiple paragraphs of text in a table cell. You can also insert a tab.
Double-tap a cell.
Type the first paragraph of your text, then do one of the following:
Insert a line break: Tap in the cell where you want the line break, then tap Return on the keyboard.
Insert a tab: Tap in the cell where you want the tab, tap again, tap Insert in the menu that appears, then tap Tab.
You may have to swipe to see the Insert option.
