Drawing a table
You can place a table in
- A MasterBorder,
- A Layout,
- A Text Box,
- A Layout Region, or
- Another table's cell.
To place a table on your page,
- Click the Table tool.
- Draw the outside edge of your table.
- Point where you want the top left corner of your table.
- Click and drag to the bottom right corner of your table.
- Release the mouse button.
 Fusion displays the Create Table dialog. - Enter a Number of columns, or click the up-down arrows to increase or decrease.
- Enter a Number of rows, or click the up-down arrows to increase or decrease.
- Click OK.
A table appears. Don't worry if
- Your table is the wrong size,
- Your table needs more rows or columns, or
- Your table is in the wrong place.
You can edit your table later.
Working with table properties
 Note: Some table formatting options require Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) support. To enable CSS,
- Click Tools, Options, Current Site.
- Select Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
For more information about CSS, see this tutorial.
 Setting relative or fixed-width
You can set relative or fixed width only if a table is in
- A text box, or
- Another table's cell.
The width option in the Table Properties dialog is greyed-out for tables on a MasterBorder, Layout or Layout Region. All tables in such locations are Fixed Width.
To learn the difference between Relative and Fixed width, see the Glossary.
