TABLE - Creating and editing tables

 

Here I've used the Point and Click editor to create a table. One person reported that they can't get the grid lines to show up. I was able to change the border around the table but I guess you can't change the way that the grid lines display. In this case, I can see the grid lines very well in my Firefox browser, so the default setting may be fine.

Copying tables from a webpage doesn't always create a table in your Point and Click editor. Sometimes it only pastes in the formatted text. To get around this, you can try pasting the web page table into MS Excel or Open Office Spreadsheets, then copy the table from the spreadsheet and paste it into the wiki.

 

I created this table by copying it from my Open Office spreadsheet program.

Open Office is a free program, see http://freewarewiki.pbwiki.com/OpenOffice

TABLE PROPERTIES - Edit then right click on the table to get them

 

Someone just asked me how to adjust the width of the columns in a table. It's easy, just edit the page and right click into one of the cells of your table. You'll see something like this image below.

 

 

 

Now you select Cell Properties, and once the dialog box pops in, you will see that you can adjust many settings, including the width. (see below)

 

 

More later ...
