Key:  Additions   Deletions
Tables are a great tool for organizing data, photos, and blocks of text. They can transform cluttered pages into pages that are quickly scannable and visually interesting. If you haven't experimented with the "Table" tool in the EasyEdit Toolbar yet, give it a try!

Tips:

To edit a table: Highlight the table and then right-click to bring up the table menu. You can add/delete rows and columns, select an entire table, change the width of the table, and change the look of the table borders (including choosing the "no border" option.)

To center a table on the page: Before you create the table, place your cursor on the page and then select the "centered" text button in the toolbar. Once your cursor is centered, then click the "Table" button and continue.


Here are some examples of creative use of tables:

Example #1, wikiFido: A horizontal table stacked on top of a long vertical table; there are also smaller tables with no borders inset into each main table.

Example #2, from the Bob Dylan site: (tables here create a photo/caption directory. Notice that the gridlines are hidden for a cleaner look.)
