Formatting Tables and Cells in Dreamweaver
You can change the appearance of tables by setting various table properties for the table and its cells or by applying a preset design to the table. Many of the table properties can be viewed and changed in Property Inspector with the table or cell selected. |
Dreamweaver Tutorial: View and Set Table Properties
1. Select a table, cell, row,or column.
2. In the Property Inspector, click the the expander selector in the lower right corner to see all the properties.
