How to Create a Table

  1. Go to the Table menu
  2. Choose Create a Table
  3. Under the Table tab, enter the number of columns and rows you would like to include in your table.
  4. Choose the Cell spacing, padding and border width. These numbers are measured in pixels.
  5. Choose a table width. The table width is measured using the percentage of the window that will be covered by the table. A table width of 50% creates a table that will be half as wide as the window.
  6. Choose the table alignment; left, center or right.
  7. Click the Color tab
  8. Click the Border button to choose a color for the border of your table.
  9. Click the Background button to choose a color for the background of the table.
  10. Click Accessibility tab.
  11. The accessibility features are designed to allow visually impaired users to access the page. Visually-impaired computer users often use special software that reads pages aloud to them. The information entered into the accessibility box will be the text that screen-reading software uses to describe the table to visually-impaired users. It should accurately describe the contents of the table without being too long.
