Select any combination of cells and then use the Property inspector to change the appearance of individual cells, rows, or columns. To select cells, rows, and columns, see Selecting table elements. To apply formatting to the entire table, see Setting table properties.
To format a row, column, or cell:
1 | Select any combination of cells in the table. |
2 | Choose Window > Properties to open the Property inspector, and click the expander arrow in the lower right corner to see all properties |
3 | Choose from the following appearance options: |
Horz Sets the horizontal alignment of the cell's contents to either the browser's default (usually left for regular cells and center for header cells), left, right, or center. | |
Vert Sets the vertical alignment of the cell's contents to either the browser's default (usually middle), top, middle, bottom, or baseline. | |
W and H Set the width and height of selected cells in pixels. To use percentages, follow the value with a percent sign (%). | |
Bg (top) Sets the background image for the cells. | |
Bg (bottom) Sets the background color for the cells. Background color appears inside the cells only—that is, it does not flow over cell spacing or table borders. This means that if your cell spacing and cell padding are not set to 0, there will be gaps between the colored areas even if the border is set to 0. | |
Border Sets the border color for the cells. | |
4 | Choose from the following layout options: |
Merge and Split Combine or divide cells. See Splitting and merging cells. | |
No Wrap Prevents word wrapping, so that cells expand in width to accommodate all of the data. Normally, cells expand horizontally to accommodate the longest word and then expand vertically. | |
Header Formats each cell as a table header. The contents of table header cells (TH ) are bold and centered by default. |
