Welcome to FrontPage

Let's add some cell padding and spacing so our table has breathing room.

Defining cell padding and cell spacing
"Cell padding" refers to the amount of space between the edge of the cell and the text or image within it. "Cell spacing" refers to the amount of space between each cell. When you adjust these two attributes, your selection will apply to the entire table. In other words, you cannot apply cell padding and cell spacing to only specific cells.
To define cell padding and cell spacing:

1. Position the cursor in the table.
2. Click Table on the Menu bar and select Table Properties.
3. To adjust the padding and spacing, adjust the spin controls for the Cell Padding and Cell Spacing boxes.

4. Click OK in the Table Properties dialog box.

Hey, Blip. Our table is looking pretty good, but our columns and rows are all different widths and heights. If we don't fix them, we're going to lose marks for 'neatness'.

That's using your neuro-waves, Pixel! Lucky for us, FrontPage has a couple of commands that will help us tidy-up our columns and rows.

Changing cell width and height
To make all your table columns and rows equal in width:

1. Select an entire row or column. You can do this by placing the mouse pointer above the top border or next to the left-hand border of your table. Once the pointer turns into an arrow, click your left mouse button once.

When your mouse pointer turns into an arrow, click your left mouse button once.
2. Click Table on the Menu bar and select Table Properties.
3. Click on Distribute Columns Evenly or Distribute Rows Evenly.

Use the Distribute Columns Evenly command

To adjust cell height and width:

1. Position the mouse pointer over a border until it turns into a double-headed arrow.

The pointer will change to a double-headed arrow
2. Hold down your left mouse button, then drag your mouse left or right, up or down, to adjust the cell size.

Drag the border to its new location, then release your mouse button. 3. Release the mouse button to lock the border into place.

NOTE: You cannot make this adjustment to the left-edge and top-edge borders.

We'd better align the pictures in the cells so they're nice and centered. Neatness marks can make or break a good project!

Aligning objects in cells

You can align objects in cells - vertically, horizontally, or centered. There are two ways to do this:
To horizontally align objects in a cell:

1. Select the text or image in the cell.
2. Click one of the alignment buttons on the Format toolbar to Align Left, Center, or Align Right the object.

To vertically align objects in a cell:

1. Select the text or image in the cell.
2. Click Table on the Menu bar and select Cell Properties.

Cell Properties command
3. Select an alignment option from the Vertical Alignment drop-down box.

Select a vertical alignment for your object
4. Click OK in the Cell Properties dialog box.

NOTE: If you select Bottom, the object will align with the bottom of the cell. If you select Baseline, the object will align with the bottom of the cell's largest text.
