This dialog box allows you to select a preformatted table design to apply to a table.
The sample table displays an example of the chosen design.
Row Colors options specify the colors to apply to rows, and how frequently the colors alternate.
Top Row options specify the alignment, text style, background color, and text color for the top row of the table, which may contain column headings.
Left Col options specify the alignment and text style for the left column of the table, which may contain row headings.
Border is the width, in pixels, of the tables borders.

|
If you dont explicitly assign a value for the border, most browsers display the table as if the border were set to 1. To ensure that browsers display the table with no border, set Border to 0. To view cell and table boundaries when the border is set to 0, select View > Visual Aids > Table Borders. |
Apply All Attributes to TD Tags Instead of TR Tags applies the design to the table cells (td
tags) rather than table rows (tr
tags).
By default, the formatting specified in the Format Table dialog box is applied to entire rows rather than to individual cells. When youre applying the same format to all the cells in a row, applying the format to the tr
tag produces cleaner, more concise HTML code. However, this option allows you to apply the formatting to individual cells if thats your coding preference. For more information, see Formatting tables and cells.
