Subject: Drawing a table



When you draw a table, you can assign a table style, determine the number of col­umns and rows, and other options. Tables are inserted in the drawing by either speci­fying the upper-left corner of the table or by specifying a window that specifies its total width and height.

To draw a table

   1   Do one of the following to choose Table ():

   On the ribbon, choose Home > Table (in Annotation) or Annotate > Table (in Tables).

   On the menu, choose Draw > Table.

   Type table and then press Enter.

   2   In Table Style, choose a table style for the table. If necessary, click () to create or modify table styles.

   3   Determine how you want to insert the table in the drawing by choosing one of the following:

   Specify insertion point Specify the location of the upper-left corner of the table when you insert it. You can specify the insertion point directly in the drawing or enter coordinate values in the command bar. If the table reads from bottom to top (as specified for the table direction in the table style), the insertion point specifies the location of the lower-left corner of the table.

   Specify window Specify a location and size for the table when you insert it. Specify two points of the window directly in the drawing or  specify their coordinates in the command bar.

   4   Specify column settings:

   Columns Enter the number of columns. If Specify Window is also selected, the column width is determined automatically by the width of the table.

   Column Width Enter the width of the columns. If Specify Window is also selected, the number of columns is determined automatically by the width of the table.

   5   Specify data row settings:

   Data Rows Enter the number of data rows. If Specify Window is also selected, the row height is determined automatically by the height of the table.

   Row Height Enter the height of data rows. If Specify Window is also selected, the number of data rows is determined automatically by the height of the table.

   6   Specify cell settings:

   First row cell style Choose the cell style for the first row of the table.

   Second row cell style Choose the cell style for the second row of the table.

   All other rows' cell style Choose the cell style for all other rows.

   7   When finished, click OK.

   8   In the drawing, follow the prompts to insert the table.
