Cell Properties Option Function
Horizontal and Vertical Align-
ment
Determines how a cell’s contents are positioned
within a cell.
Specify Width/Height Determines the width of a cell in the context of its
row, and the height in the context of its column.
Again, measured either as a percentage of the avail-
able screen width, or as a specific measurement in
pixels.
Rows/Columns Spanned Adjust the number of rows or columns a cell spans.
Header Cell Apply’s a bold text format and center-aligns a cell’s
contents.
No Wrap Prevents a cell’s text from automatically wrapping to
a new line.
Background A cell can have a background color or picture that’s
different than its table, as well as the underlying
page’s background settings.
To format a table, it’s a good idea to set the Table Properties first and then the
Cell properties—general formatting to specific.
