Chapter 1: Exploring SharePoint Designer
Although Visual Aids can make the design of a page much easier, they also can significantly affect the
layout as seen in Design view. Turn off Visual Aids occasionally to verify precise positioning. Figure 1 - 7
shows the same page as Figure 1 - 5 , with the Visual Aids turned off.

Table - Editing Tools
SharePoint Designer Design view supports traditional HTML tables in two different ways, each with a
slightly different toolset:
Standard tables are traditional grids of rows and columns, along with tools for merging and
splitting cells, inserting rows, and so on, for the presentation of tabular information.
Layout tables are of interest to web designers because tables have historically been used as a
layout tool for HTML pages. SharePoint Designer ’ s layout tables make table - based page layout
much easier.
SharePoint Designer also fully supports the use of CSS for page layout, as you ’ ll see in chapter 6.
