Selecting a table, row or cell
There are several ways to select a table or row:
l Click in the table or row. Then, in the breadcrumbs (see "Selecting an element" on
page192) click table to select the table, or tr to select the row.
l Right-click a cell and from the shortcut menu, choose Table > Select or Row > Select.
l Click in a cell and then use the toolbar: click the Select Table button or click the black
triangle next to that button and then click Select Table or Select Row.
Selecting one cell is easy: just click in it.
Tip
Use the Styles pane to see which styles apply to the currently selected table, row or cell.
Styling a column
In HTML, column elements don't exist, only tables, rows and cells.
To make cells look like a column, make sure that they are positioned underneath each other -
insert empty cells if needed -, and then style the cells as usual.
Via the Formatting dialog
The Formatting dialog allows you to change the font, font size and color (see "Fonts" on
page328), the borders (see "Border" on page321), the margins or cell padding (the distance
between the edge of the cell and its content, see "Spacing" on page333), and the background
color or image of the table and its cells ("Background color and/or image" on page319).
To open the Formatting dialog for one cell or for the table as a whole:
l Click in a cell and choose Format > Table or Format > Table Cell.
l Right-click it and choose Cell... or Table... from the shortcut menu.
Note that in this case Table styles the table as a whole. When you choose Table and change
the border, for example, the borders of the cells inside it will not be changed.
