Create a Table

Tables are typically created within a Prolog, Body, or Section parent element.

1. Select the parent element, right-click and select Add Child Element > Table. The Create Table dialog is displayed.
   
   
2. Determine the number of Rows and Columns in the respective fields.
3. In the Table Borders section, perform the following:
   • Click the Location dropdown list and select one of the following:
     • None
     • All
     • Bottom
     • Top
     • Sides
     • Top and Bottom
   • Click the Weight dropdown list and select the desired thickness:
     • 0.5
     • 1.0
     • 1.5
     • 2.0
     • 2.5
     • 3.0
4. In the Cell Properties section, determine the following:
   • Font Size
   • Background Color
   • Horizontal Alignment
   • Vertical Alignment
   • Padding: sets the padding for each cell in the table
     Note:

     • Padding must be set in points (ex. 6pt). If you do not set the padding amount correctly, the Padding control will indicate an incorrect format with a red border.
       
       
     • Padding can accept up to four values (ex. 6pt 2pt 2pt 6pt) indicating top, right, bottom and left sides, respectively.
     • Table padding has specific precedence. If the padding does not look as expected, realize that the precedence for padding is in the following order, highest to lowest:
       • Cells
       • Row
       • Column
       • Table
       Other elements higher than Table may need to have padding cleared to obtain the desired result.
5. The Cell Borders section allows you to determine the thickness of cell borders. Select one of the following:
   • None
   • Grid Lines
   • Specific Sides
