Table Of Contents
The default_table_styles.css file is read-only, but of course you could overwrite styles and
create your own theme, using your own style sheets.
Regardless, you can change the font, font size and color, the borders, the cell padding (the
distance between the edge of the cell and its content), and the background color or image of the
table and its cells, via the Formatting dialog.
Both approaches are explained in the topic: "Styling a table" on page748.
Resizing and moving a Table
Resizing a Table
l Select the Table (see "Selecting an element" on page616) and type the desired width
and height under Geometry on the Attributes pane.
l
Select the Table and select Format > Table, on the menu. On the Table tab, change the
width and height of the Table.
l
Click in the Table and drag the handles to resize it. Press the Shift key while dragging to
scale the Table proportionally.
This option only works in a Print section, with a Table that has an absolute position and
for which resizing is allowed.
l If the position of the Table isn't absolute, right-click the Table and on the shortcut
menu, select Convert to absolute. (This option isn't available for Tables on a
Master Page, as they must always have an absolute position, or be located inside
another element with an absolute position.)
l Select the Table (see "Selecting an element" on page616) and then, on the
Attributes pane, check the option Allow resizing.
Moving a Table
The easiest way to move a Table in relation to other content is this:
1.
Open the Outline pane (next to the Resources pane).
2. Select the Table on the Outline pane.
3. Drag and drop it somewhere else in the outline.
To move a Table with an absolute position, you can also:
