The HTML editor provides tools that make it easy to create and edit tables in your HTML pages.
To create a table
Tip If the table does not have a border, you can make it easier to work with in Design view by choosing the Visible Borders button in the Design toolbar.
Browsers do not display table cells that have no content. Therefore, when you switch to Quick view or if you preview the page in the browser, cells without content won't appear.
To edit the contents of a cell
Note If you delete the contents of all cells in a row, the entire row is collapsed, and you will not be able to place the insertion point into the row at all. However, you can still edit the table in Source view.
You can add rows, columns, and cells to an existing table.
To add or delete rows, columns, and cells
Note Placing the cursor inside a cell is sufficient to select that cell, column, or row. You do not need to select the entire contents of the cell, column, or row.
You can also split or merge cells.
To split cells
The current cell is split into two cells that fit within the existing column.
To merge cells
Some operations, such as setting properties or specifying absolute positioning, require that you select the entire table.
