CreateTables

When you lay out text and graphics on a page, you can use a table to arrange them. Tables are supported by virtually all Web browsers and are an easy way to lay out your pages.

In Page view,

  1. Position the insertion point where you want to insert the table.

  1. On the Table menu, point to Insert, and then click Table.
  1. In the Border size box, type the width you want for the table border in pixels. If you do not want a border, type 0. The higher the number, the thicker the border.
  2. In the Rows box, type the number of rows you want.
  3. In the Columns box, type the number of columns you want.
  4. In the Alignment box, select the position for the table on the page.
  5. To change the cell padding of the table (the space between a cell's border and content), enter a number in the Cell padding box.
  6. To change the cell spacing of the table (the space between cells), enter a number in the Cell spacing box.
  7. To change the width of the table, do one of the following:
  8. Select In percent, then type a percentage of the screen width you want the table to be. (preferred method if you do not understand pixels)
  • Select In pixels, then type the width you want the table to be in pixels.
  1. If you check the Set as default for new tables box, the properties that you specify for this new table will be used as the default properties the next time you create a table.
  2. Click OK.
