Creating a table
Use tables on your webpages to ensure your text and images align. Tables can also be used to create unique layouts such as columns or galleries.
Regardless of the effect you want to achieve, the initial steps to create a table are always the same.
1. Place the cursor on the webpage where you want the table to appear.
2. Click Insert/Edit Tables
3. Using the guide below complete the Table Properties box.

Columns

Width

The width of the table can be selected using either pixels or percent. For example 100 percent will create a table that spans the whole width of your page.

Border Size

For a table without a border enter 0.

Alignment

7. Now begin adding your text and images to each cell in turn.
N.B. At first the table on the webpage will appear small and feint . As you begin to add text or images it will initially distort, as the table adjusts to fit the content. We recommend entering all the text and images into your table before making any adjustments.
