Tables

Tables are a great way to organise and display data in an interesting and easy-to-read format on your website.  

Creating a Table

• Click into the content area of the page on your website where you require a table.
  
  
• Select the Table icon from the Edit tab OR select the Templates icon and then Styled Template if you have this template on your site.
  
  

Table Properties

• For Styled Tables the properties will already be set.  For Standard Tables, the Table Properties window will appear immediately.  
  (you can right click on the table and choose table properties at any time to edit the settings)

• Type the number of Rows and Columns required.
  
  Note: Set the width to a percentage e.g. 100%.  If you have a Responsive website, this will mean that your content scales accordingly, in turn displaying appropriately on mobile and tablet devices.
   
• Press OK to close the Table Properties window and place the table on your page.
