Formatting a table with a preset design

Use the Format Table command to quickly apply a preset design to a table and then select options to further customize the design.

To use a preset design:

1 Select the table and choose Commands > Format Table.
2 In the dialog box that appears, choose a design scheme from the list on the left. The table updates to display a sample of the design.
3 To further customize the design, make changes to the Row Colors, Top Row, and Left Col options.
4 To modify the border width, enter a value in the Border box. Enter 0 for no border.
5 To apply the design to the table cells (TD tags) rather than table rows (TR tags), select the Apply All Attributes to TD Tags Instead of TR Tags option.
Formatting applied to table cells takes precedence over formatting applied to table rows. However, formatting applied to table rows results in cleaner, more concise HTML source code. See Formatting tables.
6 Click Apply or OK to format the table with the selected design.
