Adding tables

You can add a table as an independent page item or embed it in a text block object. When the table is independent, it has its own tag and can be edited directly; when the table is embedded, you access it through the text item.

To add a table:

1  Click the Add Item button on the toolbar.

2  Click the Add tag where you want to insert the table.

3  Select Add table layout and click Done. The Add Table Layout tool is displayed.

4  Set the desired number of rows and columns.

5  Set the table border stroke size (in pixels).

6  Choose the desired width option:

· Select Auto from the dropdown list to have the table sized automatically.

· Select Percent to specify the percentage of the available space to allocate to the table.

· Select Pixels to specify the number of pixels.

7  Use the Color Picker to set the background color and/or border color.

8  Specify how table is aligned in relation to surrounding text and available space.

9  Set cell padding and spacing.

10  Click Done.
