Creating Tables
with FrontPage
I used to hate working
with tables in FrontPage because I was certain that I
could hand code a complex table faster than I could
build one using FrontPage table building features. I
have discovered in time, however, that the FrontPage
techniques listed below offer the most efficient way to
build precise tables.
Also, check out these table tutorials inside
Pro Techniques.
Creating
a Table:
- Draw the table you
want to build on a piece of paper.
- On the top menu bar,
choose "Table/Insert Table."
- In the "Insert
Table" dialog, the number of rows should equal the
number of cells in the table column you've drawn
containing the most cells. The number or columns
should equal the number of cells in the table row
you've drawn containing the most cells.
- You may then need to
merge some cells together to get the table to work the
way you want.
