Completing the Table Properties dialog box
Use the Table Properties dialog box to change properties
for the selected table.
Make
changes to any of the following options:
- Table alignment
- refers to the location of the table in relation to any elements (such
as text or images) that appear around the table. Select from the following
options:
Default aligns the table to the left side
of the page. Text or images do not flow around the table.
Left aligns the table to the left side of the page. Text
or images flow to the right of the table.
Center aligns the table in the center of the page.
Right aligns the table to the right side of the page. Text
or images flow to the left of the table.
Table width specifies how wide the table is.
From the
pop-up menu, select Percent to specify the table width as a percentage
of the total browser window, or Pixel to specify the width in pixels
(a number between 1 and 800).
Note: You can enter percentages
greater than 100. For example, if you enter 150, the table is one
and a half times the size of the browser window. When the percentage
is greater than 100, a scrollbar appears for the web page. You can enter
a value up to 1000.
- Border thickness
- specifies
the thickness of the border around the table.
 Enter
0 if you do not want a table border. - Cell padding
- indicates
the amount of space, in pixels, between the edge of the table cell
and the contents of the cell.
Note: If you do not enter a value,
Contribute sets cell padding to the default value, which is 1 pixel.
- Cell spacing
- indicates the amount of space, in
pixels, between each table cell.
Note: If you do not enter a
value, Contribute sets cell spacing to the default value, which
is 2 pixels.
- Border color
- indicates
the color of the border around the table and between cells.
Note: The
border color does not show if the border thickness is set to 0 for
no border.
- Background color
- indicates
the background color of all the cells in the table.
If you
do not select a color, the default background is transparent. In
other words, the table background is white on a white page, green
on a green page, and so on.
