Formatting a table
template:
• The text font is the same as the Text Body style.
• The paragraph alignment is Left, with an indentation of 0.64 cm before the text and
0 cm after. The first letter is capital.
• When you write a long text in a cell, it wraps automatically to fit into the cell.
• If you vary the width of a column, the text written in all the cells of that column is
automatically adjusted
Individual cells
Each cell can be considered as an individual document where you can set up many
parameters independently from other cells. For example it is possible to:
• Format the Characters – You can change the font style and the font and and
background colors.
• Set different indentation values – When you select a cell, the ruler shows the
indentation points with gray triangles. You can easily vary the indentation by clicking
and dragging these triangles (see Figure 4).
• Change the text alignment – For example, a number can be aligned to the right, while
text is aligned to the left.
To change the setup of a cell:
1) Select the cell or range of cells to be modified.
2) Right-click with the mouse.
3) From the context menu that appears, select the property that you wish to modify.
Formatting the header
Normally the first thing to do after having inserted a table is to format the header. In the
example in Figure 4, a table that lists a catalog of T-Shirts is created with this structure:
• 1
st
column = description
• 2
nd
column = price
• 3
rd
column = image of the T-Shirt.
Figure 4 shows an initial setup of the table.
