Figure 52: The Format Cells dialog box showing the Borders page
• Borders: here you can set advanced properties not available from
the Table Toolbar, such as the spacing between the text and the
border as well as setting the style of each individual border of the
table separately. This page also provides the same options as the
line style, line color buttons of the Table Toolbar.
Note
Note that is currently not possible to define diagonal borders for
Impress tables.
• Background: changes the background of the selected cells and
provides the same functionality as the Area Style Filling and
Available Filling drop down menus of the Table Toolbar.
Note
The Table Properties dialog box can also be accessed from the
pop-up menu that opens when right-clicking on the table.
Position and size
Tables are treated in Impress just like any other graphic object; it is
therefore possible to modify their position on the slide as well as their
size either using the mouse or, for more accurate control, with the
Position and size dialog box. You can open the dialog box by pressing
F4 when the table is selected or by right-clicking on the table and then
selecting Position and Size from the pop-up menu. The functionalities
provided in this dialog are described in Chapter 6 (Formatting Graphic
Objects).
Note
Unlike other graphic objects, it is not possible to rotate a table.
