• Displaying data

Adding a Table

To add a table, click the Table button in the toolbar and click "Insert Table."  The following table has 3 columns, 3 rows, a caption of "Mileage Data", and "Build first row using header tags" was checked.  Click here to see the Table Options Screen for this table.

Adding a caption to your table is a good idea.  It makes the table more accessible for screen readers while also telling all your readers what the purpose of the table is.  The "Build first row using header tags" and "Build first colum using header tags" are good options to use.  The headings in the row and/or column will be centered and bolded for you.
