Creating tables

Use the Object palette or the Insert menu to create a new table.

To insert a table:

1	Do one of the following:
	Place the cursor where you want the table to appear on the page and click the Table button on the Common panel of the Object palette or choose Insert > Table.
	Drag the Table button from the Object palette to the desired location on the page.
2	In the dialog box that appears, enter the following information:
	Rows and Columns Specify the number of table rows and columns.
	Cell Padding Specifies the amount of spacing between the cell content and the cell boundary (or wall).
	Cell Spacing Specifies the amount of spacing between each table cell, not including the border.
	Width Specifies the width of the table in pixels or as a percentage of the browser window. Tables specified in pixels are better for precise layout of text and images, while tables specified in percentages are a good choice when the proportions of the columns are more important than their actual widths.
	Border Specifies the width of the table border.
	Note: If you want to insert a table without having to first specify these options, turn off the Show Dialog When Inserting Objects option in the General preferences. See General preferences.
