Inserting Tables

Users can insert a table into a rich text control. When using tables in rich text controls, note the following.

• Users can insert and delete a whole table or table rows by using the keyboard but they cannot insert or delete columns.

• The display of a table inside a rich text control is limited and table dimensions cannot be edited.

• As text does not wrap within a cell, text can overflow into neighboring cells.

To insert a table at the current position

1. Right-click in the position at which you want to insert the table in the control. The context menu is then displayed.

2. Select the Insert Table command. The Insert Table dialog is then displayed.

3. In the Number of Rows text box, specify the number of rows in the table.

4. In the Number of Columns text box, specify the number of columns in the table.

5. In the Left Margin text box, specify the distance (in pixels) between the left edge of the control and the left edge of the table. The default value of zero (0) indicates that the table is not indented.

6. In the Column Width text box, specify the width of all columns (in pixels).

7. Click the OK button. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

The table that meets your specified values is then displayed in the rich text control and you can enter values into the cells to meet your requirements. (However, remember that as text does not wrap within a cell, text can overflow into neighboring cells.)
