Hands On Practice - Tables
Let's make a quick table the easy way.
-
 If
not on your Practice Page, click on the tab, and then place
your insertion point below the bulleted and numbered lists we did
earlier.
-
Click
on the Insert Table button on the Standard
Toolbar and create a table that is 2 columns by 3 rows.
-
Your
Table should look like the one below. In its default format,
the columns and rows will appear as evenly spaced, and this table will automatically resize to fit whatever content we
place in it. You can fix the widths of the individual
columns or rows using the Cell Properties dialog.
|
Now let's use the
Table Properties dialog. There is also a Cell
Properties dialog that allows you to edit the parameters of a particular
cell, or all the cells in a column or row. We will use this a little
later.
-
Click on Table,
Insert, Table to open the dialog box.
-
Follow the
instructions in the illustration.
 |
The finished table should look
like the one at the right.
-
When we set the percent to
50, it made the table take up 50% of the available screen.
-
Setting the alignment to
right made it slide to the right margin.
-
Setting the float to right
allowed us to write this paragraph of text to the left of the table, so that
the text wrapped around the table.
 Merging
and Splitting Cells
To merge
two or more cells together, highlight the cells as in the illustration,
and the select Table, Merge Cells.
|
|
 To
split cells, select the cell, and select Table, Split Cells.
When the Split Cells dialog opens, select
Columns or Rows, indicate the number of columns,
then click OK.
-
Select the lower left hand cell by placing your insertion point
inside the cell, the select Table, Split Cells,
Columns, and type 3 into the number box. Click
OK.

a cell, row, column, or entire table, highlight the cells you want to

the table.

Adding Rows or Columns
 The
easy way to add a row to the bottom of a table is simply to tab through the last
row of cells, until you get a new row. Otherwise:
-
Highlight a row or column
next to where you want to insert a row or column.
-
Click on Table, Insert,
Rows or Columns.
-
When the dialog box opens,
choose Rows or Columns.
-
Choose the number of rows or
columns you want to add.
-
Choose whether the rows will
be inserted above or below the selected row (as shown), or if inserting a
column, you choice will be to the left or the right of the highlighted
column.
Go ahead and try this out on one
of the tables you created earlier, add a row, then add a column.
Copying a Table from Word or
Excel
If you have a table in a Word
document or Excel spreadsheet, you can easily copy it from Word or Excel and
paste it into FrontPage.
-
Click on the files named
WordTable.doc and
Spreadsheet.xls.
-
When the download dialog opens, click on save, and save
them to My Documents.
-
Then open them in Word and Excel.
-
After they
open in Word and Excel, highlight them and click on Edit, Copy.
-
Then switch to FrontPage and position your insertion point below the other
tables, and click Paste.
As you can see
below, you can also insert a
Word or Excel table inside of a FrontPage table to help organize them, as shown
below. Normally, I would make the outside table borders disappear, I have
left them visible so you can see what I have done here.
