Creating Tables

Why use Tables?

When entering Content onto Web Pages (they don't act the same as Word Processors), Tables are a way of positioning this content so it will be where we want it to be. 

What are Tables?

Tables consist of rows and columns, with the intersection of a row and column called a cell. 

How do I insert a Table onto my Web page?

    1).  A Table is created by selecting 'Table', 'Insert', 'Table' and the 'Insert Table' dialog box comes up as in the following graphic:

Back to Top

    2).  The rows and column options are used to select or type the number of rows and columns in the Table.  For this example, we will use one row and three columns and should look like the graphic below:

    3).  The Table divides up the row into three divisions symmetrically across the page.  Now HIGHLIGHT your name and cut and paste it onto the center cell of the Table as in the graphic below:

Back to Top

    4).  Now HIGHLIGHT name again and center it in the middle cell as the following graphic shows:

    5).  To make the Table where it will not show up when previewed, right click anywhere in the Table and then click on 'Table Properties' and the Table Properties dialog box appears, change the Borders Size to '0' and click 'Apply' and 'Ok' as in the following graphic:

    6).  The Border of the Table will show in Normal view as dotted lines but in Preview view the Border will no longer be visible as the following  shows:

    7).  Now we are ready to insert Graphics into the other two cells on each side of our name. 

Click 'Here' to go to the Graphics Page or go to the Top and select the 'Graphics' button.
