Tips for FrontPageTables
~~Tina

-
When you have two tables butted together vertically, it
can be hard to insert a line between them. To do so, place the cursor after
the content of the top table's last cell and press Ctrl + Enter
Similarly, to put the insertion point before a table at the top of your
document, place the cursor before the content of the first cell and press
Ctrl + Enter.
-
When using Pixels
to set a table width, always stay smaller than 800 pixels. The minimum
default screen width that most people have is 800 pixels wide. If you use
larger tables, some visitors to your Web site might have to scroll off to
the right to see the complete table. Also be aware that visitors browsing
your web site with Web TV have a screen width of only 540 pixels.
-
If you
accidentally make a mistake and delete the wrong row or column, choose Edit,
Undo Clear from the FrontPage menu bar, and your mistake is rectified.
-
Want to delete the
entire table instead of a single row or column? Click in any cell of the
table and choose Table, Select Table from the menu bar, then press the
Delete key on your keyboard.
-
Do you want to
emulate a newspaper and make your web page have multiple columns of
information? Easy, just set up a table with only one row but with two or
three columns. Within the table, set Cell Padding to be 5 to 10 and the
borders to be 0. Then you can type all the way down each column within the
table, but the information stays in the same cell.
-
Would you like to
place four separate images within different cells in a table but make it
appear as if they are one single image? Easy, first set your Cell Padding
and Cell spacing properties to be 0, so there is no extra empty space within
the various cells of your table. Then set the Horizontal and Vertical
Alignment of your four individual cells to the following:
|
|
Column 1 |
Column 2 |
|
Row 1 |
Right, Bottom |
Left, Bottom |
|
Row 2 |
Right, Top |
Left, Top |
TIP:
To slice up the graphic and do this, the easy way is to obtain the Free FrontPage
add-on called Picture splitter from
