How to Add a Table to a Web Page With FrontPage

Use tables to organize data or to anchor components on a page (using a table is one way to regulate spacing between objects). This tutorial uses Microsoft FrontPage 2000.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Microsoft FrontPage

1. Start the Front Page program and open an existing web.
2. Open the page to be edited and position the cursor where the table will be placed.
3. Choose Insert Table from the Table menu.
4. Set the table properties (number of rows and columns, padding, and so on) using the Insert Table dialog box and click OK.
5. Add background colors and make other changes to the table properties by placing the cursor in the table and choosing Table Properties from the Table menu.
6. Save the page when finished.
7. Preview the page in a Web browser by choosing Preview in Browser from the File menu. From the dialog box, choose which browser to use and what settings.

Tips & Warnings

• Cell padding allows you to put space between the border of the cell and the content.
• Use the Draw Table command to draw your table by dragging from corner to corner to make the outline, then dragging to draw in rows and columns. (Works just like the Draw Table command in Microsoft Word.)
