Tables III...The Saga Continues
|
|
| |
What You'll Learn in this Section
|
|
| |
You're going to continue learning about tables
by inserting a background color into one of the cells and then making
the border invisible to the naked body, er, eye. I meant naked eye.
|
|
| |
Inserting a Background Color
|
|
| |
1. First thing you do is select the cell
you want to put color in by clicking inside it. For our purposes,
click inside the middle right cell. |
|
| |
2. Click on "Format," then "Table Properties." |
|
| |
|
|
| |
3. If it's not already in front, click on
the "Cell" tab. |
|
| |
4. Click on the gray box next to "Use
Color." |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A color palette pops up that looks like this.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
5. Click on the color that you want to use. |
|
| |
6. Click "Apply," which inserts
the color into the cell you selected. |
|
| |
7. Click "Close." Your table should
now look something like this. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Making the Border Invisible
|
|
|
|
Right now, you're table border is exposed and
blushing. This is not necessarily a bad thing since some people
like this look. Sometimes, however, you may not want your border
showing. This is how you make your border disappear.
|
|
| |
1. Select the table in which you want the
border to disappear by simply clicking inside of it. |
|
| |
2. Click on "Format," then select
"Table Properties." (Or use the shortcuts above.) |
|
| |
3. If it's not already in front, select
the "Table" tab. |
|
| |
4. To the right of "Border line width,"
put a "0" next to "pixels." |
|
| |
|
|
| |
5. Click "Apply." The changes
should have been made. |
|
| |
6. Click "Close." Your table should
look something like this. The border has changed to a series of dashed
lines, which means that when you put this web page on-line, you will
not be able to see the border. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
To change it so that you can see the border, repeat
the steps above and type in any number (i.e. 1, 3, 5) next to "Border
line width."
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Before we continue, let's fill in a little
more of the text.
|
|
| |
1. Click in the cell in which you changed
color and type in your school's name and city. |
|
| |
2. Highlight what you just typed and change
it to the way you want it to look (i.e. bold it, make it larger, change
its color). Here's what mine looks like now. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
3. Click in the bottom left cell and type
in some sort of welcome. |
|
| |
4. Again, highlight the text and change its appearance.
Here's what mine looks like now. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
And here's what my entire table looks like. Keep
in mind that it is not to scale
