Freeway Reference: Working with Tables

178

Creating a table using the Insert menu

Using the Table… command on the Insert menu, you can create a table as an inflow item in an existing HTML box. To do this:

1. Draw an HTML box, and click inside it to get the text insertion cursor.

2. Choose Table… from the Insert menu. The Insert Table dialog will appear.

3. In the Insert Table dialog which appears, enter numeric values for the number of rows and columns you wish the new table to

contain, and set the border, cell spacing, and cell padding attributes as you wish, and click OK. You can change these settings at a later

stage if you wish.

A new table will appear at the insertion point, with the rows

and columns evenly spaced to fit the size of the table. The

starting size of the inserted table will vary depending on the

number of cells, the width of borders, spacing, and padding.

Note: The Insert Table dialog defaults to a table of two rows and two

columns, with

Border and Cell spacing of 5px. If you change these

settings, Freeway will remember them for all new tables you draw, even

when you quit Freeway.

Modifying tables

There is a variety of options that can be specified for tables and

their cells. To access most of these, Freeway offers two panels in the

Inspector palette—the Table General panel and the Table Cell

panel. The Table General panel is available whenever you’re working

with tables.

The Table Cell panel is available whenever you’re working with table

cells or their contents. There are also commands related to working

with tables on the Item menu.

You can control the following options for tables:

• Position

• Size

• Number of rows and columns

• Cell, row, or column sizes

• Border widths

• Cell spacing

• Cell padding

• Cell and table background color

• Join/split cells

• Vertical alignment of cell contents

Positioning tables

Tables can be moved and positioned like other independent objects on the Freeway

page either by dragging with the mouse or numerically using the Inspector palette.

To position a table using the mouse

1. Using the Selection tool, point to the border of the table or a cell until the cursor

changes to a hollow pointer.

2. Click and drag to move the table to a new position. A solid outline indicates the

position of the table while you are dragging it, and the Item General panel in the

Inspector palette will display the coordinates of the table as you drag it around

the page.

Power Tip: Using this technique you can insert a table into the cell of

an existing table, if you so wish. See Importing content into tables on

page 185.

The Table Inspectors: on

the left is the overall

Table

Inspector

, with controls for

numbers of columns and rows,

etc; on the right is the

Table Cell

Inspector

, giving control over cell

size and content, etc. (Both are

Freeway Pro; Express is similar.)
