Set the properties of a table cell

2. Right-click, and then click Cell Properties on the shortcut menu.

Then do one or more of the following:

Set the alignment for the contents of the cell

• Under Layout, In the Horizontal alignment and Vertical alignment boxes, set the alignment you want.

Set cells as header cells

• To emphasize the cells, under Layout, select Header cell. By default, emphasis is bold text.

Prevent wrapping text in a cell

• Certain Web browsers will wrap text in a cell. To prevent this, under Layout, select No wrap.

Adjust cell width or height by setting the number of rows or columns that it spans

Adjusting cell spanning enables you to have cells of varying widths or heights in a table. For example, you can set the span of a cell to two rows in height or two rows in width:

1. Under Layout, in the Rows spanned box, type the number of rows you want the cells to span.
2. Under Layout, in the Columns spanned box, type the number of columns you want the cells to span.

Set cell borders

A cell border can be one or two colors, and each individual cell within a table can have its own one or two-colored border. When you use two colors, the table border has a three-dimensional appearance.

1. Right-click the table cell, and then click Cell Properties on the shortcut menu.
2. Do one of the following:

Set a one-color border   

• Under Borders, select a color from the Color list.

Set a two-color border   

• Under Borders, select colors from the Light and Dark color lists.

Note   Click the Style button (if it is available) to access other options for formatting your table using cascading style sheets as an inline style.
