Create a Table

To create a table in 'Management System', press the button on the toolbar. The Table Properties dialog window that will open lets you set configuration options that define table size, its display properties, or other advanced properties.

The Table Properties dialog window includes two tabs that group table options:

  1. Table Properties
  2. Advanced
Table Properties

The Table Properties tab is the default tab that opens after you press the Table button on the toolbar. It allows you to set the table dimensions and configure the way it will appear in the document.

  • Caption – the label of the table that is displayed on top of it.
  • Summary – the summary of the table contents that is available for assistive devices like screen readers.

Advanced

The Advanced tab lets you configure additional image options such as assign it an ID, a class, a language direction, or CSS style properties. It is meant for advanced users with knowledge of HTML as well as CSS, and gives nearly endless possibilities as far as the presentation of the table is concerned.

...

  • Id – a unique identifier for a table element in the document (id attribute).
  • Language Direction – the direction of the text in the table: left to right (LTR) or right to left (RTL) (dir attribute).
  • Stylesheet Classes – the class of the table element (class attribute). Note that a table element might be assigned more than one class. If this is a case, separate class names with spaces.
  • Style – CSS style definitions (style attribute). Note that each value must end with a semi-colon and individual properties should be separated with spaces
