Set table properties

You can use the Property inspector to edit tables.

  1. Select a table.
  2. In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), click the expander arrow in the lower-right corner and change properties as necessary.
    Table Id
    An ID for the table.

    Rows and Cols
    The number of rows and columns in the table.

    W
    The width of the table in pixels, or as a percentage of the browser window’s width.
    Note: You usually don’t need to set the height of a table.

    CellPad
    The number of pixels between a cell’s content and the cell boundaries.

    CellSpace
    The number of pixels between adjacent table cells.

    Align
    Determines where the table appears, relative to other elements in the same paragraph, such as text or images.

    Left aligns the table to the left of other elements (so that text in the same paragraph wraps around the table to the right); Right aligns the table to the right of other elements (with text wrapping around it to the left); and Center centers the table (with text appearing above and/or below the table). Default indicates that the browser should use its default alignment.

    When alignment is set to Default, other content is not displayed next to the table. To display a table next to other content, use Left or Right alignment.

    Border
    Specifies the width, in pixels, of the table’s borders.
    If you don’t explicitly assign values for the border, cell spacing, and cell padding, most browsers display the table with the border and cell padding set to 1 and cell spacing set to 2. To ensure that browsers display the table with no padding or spacing, set Border to 0, Cell Padding and Cell Spacing to 0. To view cell and table boundaries when the border is set to 0, select View > Visual Aids > Table Borders.

    Class
    sets a CSS class on the table.

    Clear Column Widths
    and Clear Row Heights delete all explicitly specified row height or column width values from the table.

    Convert Table Widths To Pixels
    and Convert Table Heights To Pixels set the width or height of each column in the table to its current width in pixels (also sets the width of the whole table to its current width in pixels).

    Convert Table Widths To Percent
    and Convert Table Heights To Percent set the width or height of each column in the table to its current width expressed as a percentage of the Document window’s width (also sets the width of the whole table to its current width as a percentage of the Document window’s width).

    If you entered a value in a text box, press Tab or Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) to apply the value.
