l Click in the Table and then drag the border to move the Table.
l Select the Table (see "Selecting an element" on page616) and type the desired values in
the Top and Left fields on the Attributes pane.
l
Select the Table and select Format > Table, on the menu. On the Table tab, change the
Positioning values.
Hiding the border
When using a Table to position other elements, you will want to hide the borders of the Table.
To do this, set the width of the border to 0; see "Border" on page757.
Text and special characters
The vast majority of templates for personalized customer communications contain, of course,
text. While the most common text element is a <p> or paragraph, other elements such as
Headings (<h1> through <h6>) are also considered text elements. Text elements can be
present within other types of elements such as table cells (<td>), boxes (<div>), etc.
Adding text
To add text, simply type in the workspace in the middle.
l
Press Enter to insert a new paragraph.
l
Press Shift+Enter to insert a line break.
Alternatively, use the Insert Lorem Ipsum toolbar button to insert dummy text, or copy-paste
text into the template.
Select Paste as Plain Text from the Edit menu or the contextual menu to insert the text without
any HTML styles or formatting.
Text that precedes or follows the value of a data field can be added by the Text Script Wizard;
see "Using the Text Script Wizard" on page788.
Note: it is not possible to open a Word file in the Designer. When you copy text from a Word
document, however, basic style characteristics travel with the content to PlanetPress Connect
Designer. Formatting options like bold, italic and formats like Heading 1, Heading 2 are
maintained.
