Creating a table
There are three ways to create a table in Namo WebEditor:
- Using the Draw Table command and “drawing” a table with the mouse
- Using the New Table command and specifying numbers of rows and columns in the Table Properties dialog box
To “draw” a table
- Place the insertion point at the beginning of the line above which you want to insert a table.
- Press Enter to create a new, empty paragraph.
- On the Insert menu, go to Table, click the triangle under Table, and then click Table Pencil. The mouse pointer will turn into a pencil—indicating table drawing mode—and the Table Toolbar will appear.
- Click on the empty paragraph and drag the mouse until the dashed rectangle is the size and shape you want for the table.
- Click inside the border of the new table and draw lines to divide the table into rows and columns.
- When you are finished drawing the table, press Esc or click
(Escape Table Drawing Mode) on the Table Toolbar.
“Drawing” a table with the mouse
When you “draw” a table, Namo WebEditor automatically sets column widths and row heights to reflect the positions of the borders you draw. Table width is not specified, so the columns can automatically shrink when the document or browser window is made narrower.
You cannot “draw” a table inside another table.
To create a table through the Table Properties dialog box
- Place the insertion point where you want to insert the table.
- On the Insert menu, go to Table, and then click Table.
- In the Rows and Columns boxes, enter the desired numbers of rows and columns for the new table.
- (optional) Enter the desired width and/or height of the table in the Width and/or Height boxes.
- Click OK.
When you create a table using the Table Properties dialog box and you do not specify the table width, Namo WebEditor automatically sets column widths so that each column is the same width and the whole table stretches across the current width of the document window. Table width is not automatically specified, so the columns can automatically shrink when the document or browser window is made narrower. Conversely, if you do specify the table width, column widths are not automatically specified.
