After creating a table, you can change its
appearance by changing the attributes of
the entire table. For example, you can:
- Add color to the table.
- Hide the table borders.
- Add a title to the table.
- Increase the cell padding.
- Paste wallpaper into the background of the
table.

- Click the target table using the right mouse
button, and select Attributes from the pop-up menu to display the Attribute dialog box.
- 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 Homepage Builder, they are
hidden in the screen of Web browsers. (The
following figure is an example of the changed
appearance.)

(C) Adding a title to a table
To add a title to a table, select Top of the Table or Bottom of the Table in the Attribute dialog box. After clicking the OK button, enter any title in the blank field
displayed. (The following figure is an example
of the changed appearance.)

(D) Adding color to a table
To add color to the entire table, click the
colored button to the right of Color in the Attribute dialog box and select any color from the
pop-up menu displayed. (The following figure
is an example of the changed appearance.)

(E) Pasting wallpaper into the background of a table
Click the Browse button in the Attribute dialog box to select and paste a wallpaper
image as the background for the table. (The
following figure is an example of the changed
appearance.)

- Click the OK button to make the changes take effect.
