One of the best ways to organize information on a Web page is through the use of a table. Although tables are used in many word processors, tables in Netscape and other web authoring programs allows for a little more flexibility, including placing tables inside of tables and altering the number of cells in comparative rows or columns.
To create a table, simply go under the Insert|Table menu. You can also click
on the Table Button on the Composition toolbar.
| Clicking the Table button will open the Table Properties floating palette. At the top of the Window, the number of rows and columns can be set (rows and columns can be added or subtracted by choosing either Insert --> Table --> Row, Cell, etc; or Edit --> Delete Table -->Row, Cell, etc.) |
| Table Alignment will control where the table will align on the page. |
| The table size can be typed in manually by entering numbers in the Table width and Table height boxes. |
 |
In fact, this Properties box is part of a table right now. The text you are reading is in the second column of that table. |
You can always right-click on the table to alter its properties. You can change the width of the border (or zero for no border), spacing between cells, and spacing within a cell. Point to the borders of the table to drag the height and width of the table.
If you are already in a table, you can create a new table from inside one of the cells. The advantage of this is to create different parts of the table, each with their own set of rows and columns.
