The Online Editor Tool: Edit: MainContent
Creating Tables
Before you build a table using our online editor, you
need to determine the number of rows and columns you'll need before you get started. Once you
have that number in mind, you'll be able to work with our online table editor quite easily. Just follow these simple steps below:
Step 1: Login to the Online Editor. Click on the link for
Edit:MainContent. When the online editing window appears, click inside the window one time.
Step 2: Look for the "Insert Table" icon in the
middle row of tools. It looks like a table grid, and appears just to the left
of the Image Manager icon, which looks like a mountain/sun.
Step 3: Next to the Insert Table icon, click on the
pull-down arrow. You will see a series of blocks. This is a graphic
representation of rows and columns, so you need to highlight the number of blocks
that correspond with the number of rows and columns you need. For example:
If you want a table that contains ...
- 1 row and 1 column: highlight the top two boxes in the table wizard
- 2 rows and 2 columns: highlight two boxes on the top row
and two boxes on the second row in the table wizard
- 3 or more rows/columns: highlight the number of boxes you need
Once you've highlighted the boxes with your mouse, click one time. Notice, the outline of your new table now appears
in the editing window. Place your cursor in the first box and type the header or description for your first row/column. Continue this with each successive
box, so you have a header or descriptive label for each column or row.
Continue filling in the information you need until all
table text is completed.
If you want to add or delete rows or columns ...
- Place your cursor in the row or column where you want to add or delete a column or row. Click once.
- Find the Table Wizard icon in the second row of editing buttons/options. The Table Wizard is located in the same row of tools as the hyperlink and document manager, at the far right of the toolbar. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the Table Wizard.
- Underneath the graph and Table Wizard label, you will find a series of blue, white and gray boxes with arrows. Hover your mouse over the selection you prefer, such as "Insert Row Above" or "Insert Column to the Left." Click on the option you prefer. Notice that the Table Wizard button at the top has changed to your new selection. Move your cursor back to the location where you want the row or column pasted in and click once. Go back to the button icon and click on it one more time. You will now see the row or column pasted into your table.
