Creating and Editing Tables 2

To make the first row headers:

1. Double-click on the edge of the first cell (Workshop)
   If all goes well the cell will have an outline around it as in the image above .
2. Go to the last cell in the row
3. Hold down the "shift" key and click
   All cells of the first row should be outlined.
4. In the Inspector, check the box "Header Cell"

The selected cells will be bold and centered.

To undo the centering:

1. Look in the Inspector for the section "Horizontal Align" (it's at the bottom of the Inspector window)
2. Click on the "Left" button

Your table should now look like the one below:

To increase the spacing between cells:

1. Click once on the edge of the table to select it (the table will be outlined and have resize boxes)
2. Go to the Inspector and type in a value of "10" for "Cell Spacing:"
3. Hit "enter" or "return"

Look what happens below:

Also in Inspector:

1. Change "Border:" to "0"
2. Hit "enter" or "return"

You'll get something like this:

In the Inspector, "Cell Padding:" is used to move the contents of the cell away from the edge of the cell (cell border). Give it a try but remember to set "Border:" to something other than "0" to help see the effect.

You may think this is the end of tables, but there is more! When you're ready to move on, please go to "Creating and Editing Tables 3 ."
