Making selections within tables
Adobe GoLive provides you with a variety of ways to make selections within a table. Once you make your table selection, you can apply formatting options to the entire table, a row, a column, or individual cells. You can make selections directly in the document window or in a preview of the table that appears in the Select tab of the Table palette. Using either method, your selection is activated in both the document window and the Table palette, which features blue lines that indicate your selection. The types of formatting options you can apply to your selection includes a font set, a relative font size, physical styles, structural styles, and available options in the Table Inspector, such as a horizontal alignment, background color, or background image.
