Email Effects enables conversion of tables into text for eMails.

Tables are converted from tab-delimited form. This means that each row ends with a return, and cells within a row are separated by a tab character. Almost all spreadsheets and word processors will provide tables in this format when copying to the clipboard.

To convert a table, simply paste it in from the clipboard or drag it into the document from another program. It will instantly appear in a floating selection, ready for manipluation. You can also choose Place from the File menu to place a tab-delimited text file into the document.

Change the width of a column in the table by clicking and dragging on the right-hand edge of the column. This may not be easily visible, depending on the Table Ruling setting, but the shape of the cursor will indicate the correct position.

Change the justification of a column in the table by clicking and dragging horizontally from the centre of a column. The shape of the cursor will indicate where the areas where this may be done.

Move the table by pressing the arrow keys on the keyboard, or dragging it from near, but not on the edge of a column.

Delete the table by pressing the delete or escape key on the keyboard, or choosing Clear from the Edit menu.

The Transparent button on the toolbar controls whether a table is transparent or opaque. If it is transparent, blank space characters in the table will let the underlying design show through.

The Table Ruling button on the toolbar controls four different ruling modes, for both columns and rows. The four possibilities are : none, outermost only, outermost plus header, all. Drag horizontally to change the setting for columns, and vertically for rows.
