Add a table

1. Click the "Insert/Edit Table" button in the editing toolbar.

   

2. In the "Table Properties" window, decide how you want your table to look.  Here, you can set the number of rows and columns, if the table has a border shown in view mode, and the width of the table.  Please note, that tables will automatically expand to hold your content, so the value you put into the width column may not be the exact width which appears.

   

3. Click "OK". Your table will be shown in the editor.

    

4. Simply click in any cell to begin entering your data.

Adding and deleting rows or columns

Row and column sizing

1. While you are in editing mode, right click (or Control+click on the Mac) on a cell that is in the row or column that you wish to adjust.
2. Choose Cell Properties, in the Cell submenu, as shown:

   

3. You will see a dialog that allows you to set the cell width or height. Changing the width or height of a cell changes the width of a column and the height of a row.  However, the size of any content inside these cells will override these values.

Setting background colors

1. After you place a table, edit the page and left-click on a table cell to choose it. You can then  right-click and select cell > cell properties.

    

2. Now choose the Background Color Select button.

   

3. Choose the color you want the background to be.  Use lighter colors so that you can still see text on top of it.

   

4. Click OK to set the color, and then OK again, in the Cell properties window, to return to editing your table.  Remember to save the page you're working on to save the changes you've made to the table.

Here's an example table.

A	B
C	D

Table sorting

 

Note:  Table sorting does not affect the sorting of the data in the table for every viewer.  It just allows viewers of your page to sort the data themselves, by clicking on the head of each column of your table.  This way, viewers can sort the data however they want, without affecting the table for other users of the workspace.

 

1. Right click on your table and select Table Properties.

   

2. Check the box labeled "Allow Sorting" to enable this feature. 

   

3. Save the page.

    

Please note that table sorting is case sensitive. The table will alphabetize capitalized words first, then lowercase.

 

In View mode, clicking each of the header cells causes the table rows to sort based on the selected column. Clicking again will toggle between ascending and descending order.

 

Example:

Numbers	Names
1	Alice
2	Bob
3	Carol
