Tables
Would you like to lay out certain parts of your document, including text and/or
pictures, in tabular form to make them more legible? If you would, simply insert a
table into the document.
This is an example of
a table.
Each cell can have its
own border.
As you can see, the text
within a “table cell” is
wrapped automatically.
Each cell can be shaded
individually.
The columns in a table can be of
different widths.
TextMaker automatically determines
the optimum height for each row of
cells.
Of course you could also use tabs if you only want to set up a simple list, but tables
offer the following advantages:
Within a table cell, text that does not fit on a single line is automatically broken
into multiple lines and the height of the cell is adjusted automatically to accommodate
it.
You can delete, copy, move or format individual table cells (or complete rows
or columns of cells).
Table cells can have borders, a grid and shaded or patterned backgrounds.
It is even possible to perform calculations on the contents of table cells (see
chapter “Calculations in the text” beginning on page 359).
You will find detailed information on tables on the pages that follow.
Tip: Using the Table toolbar
TextMaker provides a useful aid for editing tables: the Table toolbar.
The Table toolbar
This toolbar appears automatically when you position the text cursor in a table. Its
icons represent the following functions (from left to right):
