<h1>Insert and format tables</h1>
|

<p>To insert a table onto a slide,</p>

<ol>
|
|
<li>select the slide where a table will be added,</li>
|
|
<li>click the <b>Insert Table</b> <img alt="Insert Table icon" src="../images/inserttable.png" /> icon at the top toolbar,</li>
|
|
<li>select the option to create a table:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>either a table with predefined number of cells (10 by 8 cells maximum)</p>
|
|
<p>If you want to quickly add a table, just select the number of rows (8 maximum) and columns (10 maximum).</p></li>
|
|
<li><p>or a custom table</p>
|
|
<p>In case you need more than 10 by 8 cell table, select the <b>Insert Custom Table</b> option that will open the window where you can enter the necessary number of rows and columns respectively, then click the <b>OK</b> button.</p></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>once the table is added you can change its properties and position.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>You can specify the <a href="../UsageInstructions/ManipulateObjects.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">table position</a> on the slide dragging it vertically or horizontally.</p>
|

<hr />

<img class="floatleft"alt="Table settings tab" src="../images/tablesettingstab.png" />
|
|
<p>Most of the table properties as well as its structure can be altered using the right sidebar. To activate it click the table and choose the <b>Table Settings</b> <img alt="Table Settings icon" src="../images/table_settings_icon.png" /> icon on the right.</p>
|
|
<p>The <b>Rows</b> and <b>Columns</b> sections on the top allow you to emphasize certain rows/columns applying a specific formatting to them, or highlight different rows/columns with the different background colors to clearly distinguish them. The following options are available:</p>
|
|
<ul style="margin-left: 280px;">
|
|
<li><b>Header</b> - emphasizes the topmost row in the table with a special formatting.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Total</b> - emphasizes the bottommost row in the table with a special formatting.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Banded</b> - enables the background color alternation for odd and even rows.</li>
|
|
<li><b>First</b> - emphasizes the leftmost column in the table with a special formatting.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Last</b> - emphasizes the rightmost column in the table with a special formatting.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Banded</b> - enables the background color alternation for odd and even columns.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The <b>Select From Template</b> section allows you to choose one of the predefined tables styles. Each template combines certain formatting parameters, such as a background color, border style, row/column banding etc.
|
|
Depending on the options checked in the <b>Rows</b> and/or <b>Columns</b> sections above, the templates set will be displayed differently. For example, if you've checked the <b>Header</b> option in the <b>Rows</b> section and the <b>Banded</b> option in the <b>Columns</b> section, the displayed templates list will include only templates with the header row and banded columns enabled:</p>
|
|
<p><img alt="Templates list" src="../images/templateslist.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>The <b>Borders Style</b> section allows you to change the applied formatting that corresponds to the selected template. You can select the entire table or a certain cells range you want to change the formatting for and set all the parameters manually.</p>
|
|
<ul style="margin-left: 280px;">
|
|
<li><b>Border</b> parameters - set the border width using the <img alt="Border Size list" src="../images/bordersize.png" /> list (or choose the <b>No borders</b> option), select its <b>Color</b> in the available palettes and determine the way it will be displayed in the cells clicking on the icons:
|
|
<p><img alt="Border Type icons" src="../images/bordertype.png" /></p>
|
|
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: in case you select not to show table borders choosing an appropriate template, or selecting the <b>No borders</b> option, or clicking the <img alt="No borders" src="../images/noborders.png" /> icon, they will be indicated by a dotted line on the slide.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><b>Background color</b> - select the color for the background within the selected cells.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The <b>Rows & Columns</b> <img alt="Rows & Columns" src="../images/rowsandcolumns.png" /> section allows you to perform the following operations:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Select</b> a row, column, cell (depending on the cursor position), or the entire table.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Insert</b> a new row above or below the selected one as well as a new column to the left or to the right of the selected one.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Delete</b> a row, column (depending on the cursor position or the selection), or the entire table.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Merge Cells</b> - to merge previously selected cells into a single one.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Split Cell...</b> - to split any previously selected cell into a certain number of rows and columns. This option opens the following window:
|
|
<p><img alt="Split Cells window" src="../images/split_cells.png" /></p>
|
|
<p>Enter the <b>Number of Columns</b> and <b>Number of Rows</b> that the selected cell should be split into and press <b>OK</b>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

|
|
<ul>
