Working with tables in the content editor.
Please note: we strongly advise against using tables as they are not friendly with mobile responsive design. However, we do understand there are specific cases where tables are required. Wherever possible, please avoid using tables.
Creating a Table
To insert a table into your page click the table button in the editor. 
Once the table button is clicked a pop-up window will appear which will hold the information for your table.
- Rows: Type in the number of rows your table will have.
- Columns: Type in the number of columns your table will have.
- Width: This field sets the width of the table you can choose to have it as a percentage of the page or as exact pixels.
- Height: This field sets the height of the table you can choose to have it as a percentage of the page or as exact pixels.
- Header: Set the first column, row, or both as a header.
- Border size: Type in the required border width of the table (0 = no border & 9 = wide border).
- Align: Left, center or right aligns the table within the page.
- Caption: Allows you to enter a title above the table.
- Summary: Allows you to add a hidden description about the table.
- Cell Padding: Sets the padding area around content within the table.

Once you have entered your table properties click on the Ok button.
