To resize a table
•
To specify a new size in the Table tab of the Table Inspector, choose an option from the pop-up menu for Width
or Height, and enter the desired measurement value. Choose Auto to automatically adjust the width or height to
the minimum size needed to contain any content within the table. Choose Percent to set the size of the width or
height as a percentage of the browser window.
•
To resize a table dimension using fixed pixel values, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the right or
bottom edge of the table. (If the Width or Height is already set to pixels, you don’t need to press the Alt or Option
key while dragging.)
To resize a table row or table column
• To specify a new size in the Table Inspector, select a cell in the row or column that you want to resize, and then in
the Cell tab of the Table Inspector, choose an option from the pop-up menu for Width or Height and enter the
desired measurement. Choose Auto to automatically adjust the width or height to the minimum size needed to
contain any content within the row or column. Choose Percent to set the size of the row or column as a percentage
of the table size.
•
To resize a row or column using fixed pixel values, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the right or
bottom border of a cell in the row or column that you want to resize. (If the row or column is already set to pixels,

Formatting tables with table styles
Using table styles
GoLive includes a variety of predefined table styles in the Style tab of the Table & Boxes palette, which you can use
to instantly format a table or portions of a table. You can apply a table style to your table and easily remove it if it
doesn’t meet your needs. You can also create your own table style, save it, and apply it to other tables on your web
pages so you can create a consistent appearance for tables throughout your website. Save different sets of table styles
to a file that can be shared with others or import table styles for use with specific sites.
You create styles from existing tables. The style repeats based on the number of rows and columns in the original
table. For example, if you create a style from a two-row by two-column table and apply it to a six-row by six-column
table, the first row style is applied to the first, third, and fifth rows of the six-by-six table. Tables retain their existing
property values if a new value isn’t specified in the table style.
Table styles can contain the following attributes:
• In the Table tab of the Table Inspector: Border, Color, Cell Pad, and Cell Space.
•
In the Row tab of the Table Inspector: Vertical Alignment, Horizontal Alignment, and Color.
• In the Cell tab of the Table Inspector: Vertical Alignment, Horizontal Alignment, Color, Header Style, and No Text
Wrap.
The Table & Boxes palette displays a preview of a selected table style. Blue brackets indicate which rows and columns
contain repeating styles. For example, a blue bracket around only the second and third rows indicates that the first
row style is applied only to the first row, while the styles of the second and third rows repeat for all other rows.
