Text in tables
Adding text to tables
GoLive provides a variety of ways to add text to a table. Besides typing text directly in a table cell, you can copy and
paste text from another application, drag text between cells or other containers, and import data from a text file.
When you import data into a table, you need to begin by formatting data in a text file in a way that GoLive accepts.
For a single-celled table, you should simply format the data in the other application as you’d like it to appear in the
table. For a multiple-celled table, you should format the data so that each line represents the contents of a row and
contains column separators (tabs, commas, spaces, or semicolons) to separate the data between columns. Most
spreadsheet and database applications can export data to a text file in one of these column-separated formats.
Rather than setting up a column-separated file to import data, you can simply copy the data from cells in another
application and paste it into a GoLive table. Rows and columns will be added to the GoLive table as needed.
To paste text into a table
1
Do one of the following:
•
In GoLive, select the text that you want to copy, and choose Edit > Copy.
•
Copy a block of text in another application.
2
In GoLive, place an insertion point in a table cell, and choose Edit > Paste.
To drag text into a table
❖
In GoLive or a different application, select the text you want to copy and then drag it to an empty table cell in
GoLive.
Linking text in tables
You can use the Text tab of the Table Inspector as you would use the Text Inspector—to link text that’s selected inside
a table. You can also use it (and the other tabs in the Table Inspector) as a quick way to toggle between the text and
the cell, row, and table that contains it.

•
In the Table Inspector, click Import, select the text file that contains rows and columns of text separated by tabs,
and click Open.

GoLive places the text into table cells according to how many tabs (for columns) and paragraphs (for rows) there are
in the text.
