Completing the Insert Table dialog box

Use the Insert Table dialog box to add a table to your web page.

1. Enter the number of rows and columns you want, or accept the defaults for a table with three rows and three columns.

2. Change any of the following table properties:

   Table width

   indicates how wide the table is.

   Select Default width to have the width of the table columns change as you add content. Select Specific width to have a fixed table width. Enter a number, and use the pop-up menu to indicate whether the number represents a number of pixels or the percentage of the page the table will occupy.

   Border thickness

   is 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 content 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.

3. Click a button in the Header section to indicate whether you want a header; select from the following options:

   None

   indicates no header.

   Left

   indicates a header column.

   Top

   indicates a header row.

   Both

   indicates a header column and a header row.

   Screen readers read headings of rows or columns that have one of these header types applied; they do not read headings that you create by entering bold and centered text.

4. Click OK.

   The table appears in your draft.

   After you insert the table, select it, and then click the Table button again to change the table properties. For information about changing header properties, see Modify row or column properties.
