Table types

Tables in Document Editor
There are several types of table available in Document Editor:
·Fixed and dynamic tables, which are described in this section, and  
·CALS / HTML tables. Please see the CALS / HTML section for more information on these two table types.  

An example of a fixed table is the company Address table. The structure of this type of table cannot be changed; you cannot add or delete rows or columns.

The Person table is an example of a dynamic table. You can change the structure of this table at will. You can insert, append, duplicate, move, and delete rows, using the respective icons. Hitting the TAB key in the last field of such a table, automatically adds a new row.

Please note:  
The two tables in this example are colored differently, this does not however, have any bearing on the type of table they are. The table type and color scheme were defined in XSLT Designer.  

To add a new office to the orgchart:
1.Click the append Office icon (leftmost icon of the pair) in the entry helper, to append a new office.  
Empty address and person tables, as well as all other related tags, are automatically inserted at the end of the document.  

The element entry helper contains elements that can be appended or inserted to the document, depending on the current cursor position.  

ic_entry_hlp_company  

You can of course, right click to open the context menu and select Insert or Append | Office. The context menu supplies the same options as the element entry helper.  

ctx_new_office  

Please note:  
The context menu also allows you to apply formatting to text, or clear previously applied formatting. The options depend on where you right click.  

tut_doced_p7  

2.Fill in the office data as before.  

tut_doced_p8  

Changing text attributes:
The Company description text can be made bold or italic.
1.Mark the text you want to make bold or italic, and  
2.Click the bold or italic icons in the icon bar, to apply these attributes.  
The marked text is displayed as bold, and strong and/or italic tags are inserted on each side of the marked text (visible when Show large markup is active).  
 
bit_bold_italic  
 
Please note:  
ic_user_defined are user-defined icons. These two apply bold or italic formatting to marked text. User defined icons are defined in XSLT Designer (Text State icons), and are made available to Document Editor as icons in the icon bar. Please see the XSLT Designer documentation for more information.
