4 Select Color to apply a background color to the table. To set the color value, do one of the following:
• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the color field or click the black triangle in the lower right
corner of the color field, and then select a color from the color swatches that appear.
• Click the color field, and then select a color from the Color palette that appears.
If a table cell doesn’t contain text or other content, the table background color doesn’t appear in the Layout Editor or
in some browsers. To display background color in empty cells, insert a nonbreaking space into the cell.
5 Choose an option from the Align menu to align the table with respect to the document window. Choose Left or
Right to have surrounding text or objects wrap to the side of the Table. Choose Default to have surrounding text or
objects wrap along the bottom edge of the table. (You can’t use the Align menu to align a table on a layout grid.)
6 Select Caption to add a caption to the table, and then choose a location for the caption from the menu.
7 To apply a background image to the table, select BgImage and then reference an image in the text field.
