Table Formatting dialog
The Table Formatting dialog defines how a table looks. Note that the settings are applied to the
table as a whole. For example, when you change the border of the table, the borders of cells
inside the table will not be changed. For more information see "Styling a table" on page759.
All settings in this dialog are in fact CSS properties. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) were
originally designed for use with web pages: HTMLfiles. Since Designer templates are HTML
files, they are styled with CSS. To learn how to use CSS in the Designer, see "Styling and
formatting" on page736 and "Styling templates with CSS files" on page738. For information
about specific properties and their options, see W3Schools CSS Reference.
Note
Using viewport based units (vw, vh, vmin, vmax) in Print sections is not recommended.
This may cause differences between the preview in the Designer and the printed output.
