Add and edit cell content in Keynote on iPhone

Replace specific text: Select the text, then type over it.
You can also add an object to a cell.
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.

Tap Insert, then tap Line Break or Tab.

Add an object to a cell
You can paste images, shapes, lines, charts, and equations into table cells. When you paste an object into a cell, it’s added as an image fill (background) in the cell. You can change how the object fills the cell, or add text that appears in front of the object.
Note: If you paste a shape that contains text, only the text is pasted into the cell.
Go to the Keynote app

Tap the cell where you want to add the object (it can be a cell that already has text).
Tap the cell again, then tap Paste.
By default, Keynote scales the object to fit in the cell. To change the object’s size, you can resize the row.

When you copy a cell, or move a cell’s data to a new location in the table, all of the cell’s properties are also copied, including its data format, fill, border, and comments.
Go to the Keynote app
on your iPhone.Open a presentation with a table, then select the cells you want to copy or move.
Do one of the following:
Paste and overwrite existing content: Tap the cell, then tap Copy. Select the top-left cell where you want to paste the data, tap the cell again, then tap Paste.
If your data range contains formulas, tap Paste Formulas or Paste Value Only. The data overwrites any existing data.
Paste outside of an existing table to create a new table: Tap near the edge of the slide, then tap Paste. A new table is created with the pasted cells.
Move the data: After selecting the cells, touch and hold the selection until the cells appear to rise off the table, then drag them to another location in the table. Any existing data is replaced by the new data.
