Edit the Contents of a Cell

Editing the contents of a cell includes applying the text properties and attributes as well as inserting objects and dynamic elements. You can modify the contents of a cell directly on the edit window or using the Table window.

On the edit window, you must pay special attention to the location where you place the cursor in order to edit the contents of a cell or row of cells. If done incorrectly, the TD or TR tags could cause problems that would display the page incorrectly specially with the Netscape browser.

To verify the tags’ integrity, you can verify your document before you place it online in your site.

On the Table window, each table cell is separated by borders, which makes it easier to check the contents. However, if you have a lot of contents in the cells, you might not have enough space to display it all.

1. Select the TABLE opening and closing tag.

2. Click on Insert table . The Table window is displayed.

3. Place the cursor inside the cell whose contents you want to change.

   All the cell content is visible and you can use the scroll bar to scroll down. You can also enlarge the window using the Windows buttons found on the upper right corner of the window.
