Tables

The program enables you to insert tables into web pages.

The following operations with Tables are available:

• Create new Table
• Insert Row or Column
• Delete Row or Column
• Select Table, Row or Colomn
• Change the Alignment
• Set a cell as Header Cell
• Change the Properties of the Table
• Change the Size of a Row or Column
• Merge Cells

To create a table, choose Table > Insert Table. The table is inserted at the cursor position. The Table Properties dialog box is displayed, enabling you to set properties of your Table.

To Insert a Row in the beginning or in the middle of the table, first move the cursor to the row before which you want the new row to be inserted. Then choose Table > Insert Row. The new row is inserted before the row where the cursor was.

To Insert a Row at the end of the table, select the table and choose Format > Object > Properties. The Table Properties dialog box is displayed. Type the new number of the rows in the appropriate field and choose OK.

To Delete a Row, move the cursor to that row. Then choose Table > Delete Row. The row is deleted.

To Insert a Column in the beginning or in the middle of the table, first move the cursor to the column before which you want the new column to be inserted. Then choose Table > Insert Column. A new column is inserted before the column where the cursor was.

To Insert a Column at the end of the table, select the table and choose Format > Object > Properties. The Table Properties dialog box is displayed. Type the new number of the columns in the appropriate field and choose OK.

To Delete a Column, move the cursor to that column. Then choose Table > Delete Column. The column is deleted.

You can Select all the cells in the table, all the cells in the current row, all the cells in the current colomn. To do so you must first click on the table to select it, then click in the cell you want to work with. Selecting multiple cells operation is available from the Table Menu or the pop-up menu. You can apply all the formatting operations to multiple selected cells.

You can change the Alignment of your table relative to the page. The table can be of two types: floating and not. If the table is floating, the text wraps the table, and you can insert a table in a text line. The alignment is changed from the Table Properties dialog box by choosing Format > Object > Properties.

Also, you can change the Alignment of the text in separate cells. To set the alignment of the text in a cell, place the cursor in that cell and choose the appropriate alignment from the Table menu. These alignments can be:

• Top - text aligned to the top of the cell
• Middle - text aligned to the middle of the cell
• Bottom - text aligned to the bottom of the cell
• Baseline - same as Bottom

When you set a cell as a Header Cell, the text in it becomes bold and centered. To set a cell as a Header Cell, set the cursor in that cell and choose Table > Header Cell.

To change the properties of the table, select the table and choose Format > Object > Properties. The Table Properties dialog box is displayed, enabling you to set the new table properties.

To change the Size of a column, move the mouse pointer to the right border of that column. The pointer becomes a double-sided arrow. Drag the border to the new location. Then release the pointer.

To change the Size of a row, move the mouse pointer to the bottom border of that row. The pointer becomes a double-sided arrow. Drag the border to the new location. Then release the pointer.

To Merge two or more cells horizontally, move the mouse pointer to the right border of the cell, until it becomes a double-sided arrow. Then press the Shift key and drag that border until it overlaps the last cell you want to merge, and release the mouse button.

To Merge two or more cells vertically, move the mouse pointer to the bottom border of the cell, which is at the most top of those cells, until it becomes a double-sided arrow. Then press the Shift key and drag that border until it overlaps the last cell you want to merge and release the mouse button.

Nested tables are permitted, that is, you can insert tables in a table cell.
