line

After creating a table, you can change its appearance by changing the attributes of the entire table. For example, you can:

Related HTML tags <TABLE CELLPADDING= BORDER= BGCOLOR= BACKGROUND= >
<CAPTION ALIGN= >


  1. Click the target table using the right mouse button, and select Attributes from the pop-up menu to display the Attribute dialog box.

  2. Click the Table tab. Using the Table panel displayed, you can change an attribute for the entire table.

    (A) Increasing the cell padding

    Specify the size of the white space between borders and content in Cell Padding. If nothing is specified, the default is 1. (The following figure is an example of the changed appearance.)

    (B) Hiding the table borders

    If you use a table for layout, you might want to hide its borders. To do so, clear the Show Border check box. Though borders become dotted lines in the editor of TopPage, they are hidden in the screen of Web browsers. (The following figure is an example of the changed appearance.)
