Tables may be similarly selected and resized. Layout tables are selected by clicking the title bar marking the
table, or by Ctrl+clicking (Command+clicking) inside an open area within the table or on the table border.
If the layout table is nested within another table, it can even be dragged to a new location within the outer
table. Non-nested tables cannot be dragged to a new location on the page, however.
