You can also set properties at the row or column level. It depends on what is selected when you
open the Table Properties box.
To set properties for a column or row:
1. Select the entire row. You can do this by selecting all the cells in the row or column or if
you place your cursor at the very right or top edge along the table, it will turn into an
arrow that will select the row or column when clicked. The selection area is narrow!
2. Right click and go to Table Properties. The dialog will now say Table Column Properties.
Set the values and Click OK to close the dialog box.
