Why Use Tables?
Tables are a great tool for organizing data, photos, and blocks of text. They can transform cluttered pages into pages that areareeasy quicklyto scannablescan and visually interesting. They also can add a design element to your page when you fill them with images or photos.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, change the color 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.
