Completing the Table Properties dialog box

Use the Table Properties dialog box to change properties for the selected table.

  1. 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.
