Adding tables

You can add a table as an independent page item or embed it in a text block object. When the table is independent, it has its own tag and can be edited directly; when the table is embedded, you access it through the text item.

To add a table:

1. Click the Add Item button on the toolbar.
2. Click the Add tag where you want to insert the table.
3. Select Add table layout and click Done. The Add Table Layout tool is displayed.
4. Set the desired number of rows and columns.
5. Set the table border stroke size (in pixels).
6. Choose the desired width option:
• Select Auto from the select list to have the table sized automatically.
• Select Percent to specify the percentage of the available space to allocate to the table.
• Select Pixels to specify the number of pixels.
7. Use the Color Picker to set the background color and/or border color.
8. Specify how the table is aligned in relation to surrounding text and available space.
9. Set cell padding and spacing.
10. Enter a line spacing value (if desired).
11. Click Done.
