The overall manipulation of a Table requires the proper handling of properties of cells, rows, or tables. R-Click in any cell of a table, select Table Properties, and a window pops up with three tabs; from this window, properties of the cell, the row containing that cell, or the table overall can be modified.

Row Properties

R-Click in any cell of a row to bring up the Table Properties window; click the Row TAB. The basic properties of a row overall include:

horizontal & vertical alignment of content in each of the row's cells
background color or image (for the row)

alignment of cell content (for the row)

When a cell is larger than necessary for the content it holds, the horizontal & vertical alignment properties of the cell determine where in the cell to place the content. When specified as a row property, these attributes apply to all cells in the row. The table below shows the effect of the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) alignment attributes:

H:default, V:default	H:right, V:center
H:center, V:default	H:right, V:top
H:right, V:bottom	H:left, V:baselines

background color or image

These options allow the specification of a solid background color, or of an image to be tiled, over every cell in a row. The background setting for a row overrides any such setting for the table, and can be overridden by the background property of an individual cell in the row.

When picking a background color scheme, be sure the content of a cell is visible against it; text and links should be easily readable against the chosen background.

Adding a row to a table

Rows are added below the row where the cursor is.

R-Click in a row's cell: select Insert, then select Row

=OR=

L-Click in a row's cell;
Menubar: Insert, select Row

Since rows are added below a specified row, a new first row can not be added to a table. Add a new second row, and cut and paste the cell entries from the first row into it.

Deleting a row from a table

There is no way to select a group of rows; rows can only be deleted one at a time.

R-Click anywhere in the row to delete: select Delete, then select Row

=OR=

L-Click anywhere in the row to delete;
Menubar: Edit, select Delete Table, then select Row

Changing the properties of a row

There is no way to select a group of rows; row properties can only be modified one row at a time. Modify values in the Row TAB in the Table Properties window:

R-Click anywhere in the table: select Table Properties
then click the Row TAB.

=OR=

L-Click anywhere in the table;
Menubar: Format, select Table Properties
then click the Row TAB.

Then, modify the row's properties...
