Related TopicsTables Overview
Tables let visitors skim and scan for just the details they are interested in. You can also use tables to add complexity within a single page area. For example:
n You can use tables to give the effect of text in multiple columns. Example
n You can position pictures opposite paragraphs of text, instead of placing them within paragraphs. Example
n You can use tables to add interest to paragraphs by adding with borders and colored backgrounds. Example
n And of course, you can simply present tabular data, with vertical and horizontal scrolling as needed. Example
Tip: HTML version 3.2 does not support tab stops. If you publish a file to HTML format, any text that includes tab stops will appear differently in the HTML output than it did in your original file. For tabular data, tables are a better option.
For added effectiveness, combine tables with links to other pages, to provide additional dimensions of detail. For added complexity, include tables within tables, or merge multiple cells into one cell.
To add a table to a CuteSITE Builder page, right-click and choose Insert > Table, or use the clipboard to cut and paste a table from any word processor that supports Rich Text Format.
CuteSITE Builder tables include HTML-compatible features such as cell padding, cell spacing, colored table and cell backgrounds, and variable-width borders with separate colors for highlighting and shadows. Any tables brought in from other word processors will be converted to the closest available HTML-like features. Or, for a simpler look, right-click and choose Properties > Table to remove all borders and make all colors transparent, so that content appears in tabular format without any visible lines. Note that there are two different types of selection within tables, which provide different and complementary benefits.
If the currently available CuteSITE Builder tables do not fully meet your needs, another way to present tabular data within CuteSITE Builder is to embed a table created in another application, such as a spreadsheet. Such embedded objects are fully contained within CuteSITE Builder files, but they provide the viewing and editing functionality available from their own applications. Such objects will appear as bitmap pictures when you publish the file.
