Table Size - You are able to set the
width and height of table either in pixels or in percent. Size based
on Percent is determined by the space in which the table is placed.
If you have placed content (words and graphics) into a table and the
table appears too long, even after deleting any possible blank
lines, simply Right Click at the edge of the table, Select Table
Properties, delete the Height in table (leave it blank), and then
click Okay. Your table Height will be adjusted
automatically.
Alignment - place your table
Left, Center, or Right in the space you have placed it.
Rows and Columns - when setting up
your table decide how many rows you want and how many columns. A 2
rows and 3 columns table would look like this:
Layout - with Cell Padding you choose the
distance in pixels that your words and graphics a place from the
edges of the tables. Cell Spacing sets the distance that is between
the cells contained in a table.
Borders - you may have a table
without a border by setting this to 0, or you may choose to have a
border that is visible by setting the width of the border to 1 or
higher for wider borders. Also set the color of the border
here.
Background - you may set the
background color by selecting the color drop down box. Automatic
will set the background of a table to the background color of your
Page Properties Background settings. You may also use a graphic as a
background in a table (note: it's difficult to read words on a
"busy" background graphic, so if you want your words read, use a
light color background with black letters).
Cell Properties - if you have created at least two cells you may
edit each cell individually by placing your mouse cursor inside the
cell you wish to edit and Right
Click. The Cell Properties tool will open allowing you to edit borders,
background, layout, height and width. Layout settings allow you to place
your words or graphics into the cell positioned Left, Center or Right;
and also Top, Middle and Bottom of the
cell.
To access all of the Table
tools - place your mouse cursor inside the
table you want to work on, go to the top of 123 WysiWyg and click
Table. The complete list of table tools will now be available for your use,
including inserting tables, rows, columns and cells; delete rows, columns and cells; split cells. You may merge
cells here, if you have selected two cells in the same
row.
Resizing column width of a
table
(here's the best way to do this):
Let's say you have a 2 x 2 table like
this:
And you would like the left column to be 25% of
the width of the table and the right column to be 75% of the width of
the table.
Place your mouse cursor in the top left
cell and Right Click it. Then select Cell Properties and the cell's
properties box comes up.
At the bottom you will see Table
Width, set it to 25 and click the button to the right that says In
Percent, then click Okay.
Your table cell layout with now look
like this:
If you need to adjust the width further, open the Cell
Properties again and adjust the width in percent until you achieve
the required width.
Split Cells - to
split a cell vertically (a split down the middle), place your mouse
cursor in the cell you wish to split, go to the top of 123 WysiWyg
and select Table > Split Cells.
We split the top left cell by placing the mouse cursor in
the cell, go to the top of 123 WysiWyg and select Table > Split
Cells.
It will convert this:
Into this (we still have one step to do to make it
look right):
Then we put our mouse cursor in the top right cell, do
a Right Click of the mouse, and set the width to 50 In Percent, and
click Okay.
Here is the end result:

horizontally - if you start with a table like this and want to split
it horizontally, simply place your mouse cursor in the cell you wish
to split, go to the top of 123 WysiWyg and select Table > Insert
