User Guide

If you’re having trouble drag-selecting table elements, use the Table→Select
menu options.)
You can also point and click to select a table element. For instance, to select a
row, position the mouse pointer along the left-most edge of the row. When the
mouse pointer changes to a black arrow, click the mouse button to select the
entire row. At this point, you can drag to select more than one row. Select col-
umns the same way. (To select an individual cell, [Alt]-click it.) Once you’ve
made your selection, regardless of the method you choose, right-click on the
selected element and choose Delete Cells from the shortcut menu.
Filling Cell
Data
FrontPage’s Fill tool on the Tables toolbar allows you to copy data, cell, and
text formatting from one selected table cell to another adjacent selected cell.
For instance, if the first cell in a row contains formatted data, you can repeat
that data and all of its formatting for the rest of the cells in that row. Simply
select the cell that contains the desired data and/or formatting and any adjacent
cells you want to look similar, and click either the Fill Right or Fill down but-
tons on the Tables toolbar.
TOPIC C
Formatting a Table
With tables created and content in place, the next step is to format the table and its text.
Consider Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2. Which table would you rather read?
Figure 2-1: An example of a table without any formatting.
Figure 2-2: An example of a table with formatting applied.
Both tables are legible, but because the table data are more clearly presented, the formatted
table is much easier to read.
