Insert/Edit Table Screen

To create a table, click Table on the Insert tab in the HTML editor toolbar. The Insert/Edit Table Screen appears. On the General and Advanced tabs, you can design the table and adjust its properties. We recommend only users familiar with HTML and CSS style elements adjust the properties on the Advanced tab. After you create a table, you can select the table and click Table to edit its properties.
