Working with Tables

Using tables in your topics is a good way of arranging information so that it is easier to read, in all of your document's output formats.

Tip: When you're working with tables in the Editor, you may need to make the window bigger so that you can see the whole width of the table and so that all of the Tables toolbar is in view.

Tables are inserted into a topic using the Tables command available in the Topic Editor's Edit tab. The command gives you the option to create a new table by selecting the number of rows and columns you need, or you can select a table from your own table templates. After the table has been inserted into the topic the table formatting commands are available on the Topic Editor's Layout tab, or accessed through the right-click menu.
