hey everyone, im pretty new to illustrator. i cant seem to work out how to make a table? as i am making a crossword i figured that would be the best way to do it, any info would be appreciated. thanks...cooper
Illustrator doesn't have a table facility (that I know of), so you might have to make it manually. There are a few ways of doing it, here's one:
1: Draw a rectangle the size you need for the overall crossword, with a white fill and black stroke.
2: Go to Object > Path > Split into Grid
3: In the options dialog, change both gutters to 0, and enter the number of boxes you need horizontally and vertically.
4: Click OK, then select any squares you want to be black and colour them appropriately.
You can build a table using the Area Type Options in the Type menu. In order to access it you first have to create the area type - click and drag using the Text Tool.
