Format a Table
Procedure
Reference:
A table and its elements (cells, rows, and columns) can have different
formatting. Using the options in the Table Properties dialog box, as shown in
Figure 2-3, you can make changes that control an entire table and how its con-
tents are presented on a page.

Table Properties Option Function
Alignment Determines a table’s alignment on a page.
Specify Width/Height Determines the width and/or height of a table, mea-
sured either as a percentage of the available screen
width, or as a specific measurement in pixels.
Cell Padding The amount of space inside a cell that separates a
cell’s content and a cell’s border. (A cell’s interior
margins.)
Cell Spacing The amount of space between cells. (Increasing the
cell spacing makes table borders thicker.)
Border Size Determines the thickness (in pixels) of the line
around the outer edges of the table.
Background A table can have a background color or picture
that’s different than the underlying page’s back-
ground settings.
