The table is divided into sections, and the table designer gives you full control of the layout of the different sections. The properties for each section are accessed via separate tabs in the left column of the table property sheet, named as appropriate. The property page accessed from each section tab holds a row of tabs which group the properties for that section logically. The properties in the group tabs for each section are identical.
- Table Layout has the settings that will be applied to the entire table, unless other settings are made for specific areas using the other tabs below this one.
- Row Layout has settings that apply to all the rows in the table, unless other settings are made for specific cells using the tabs below this one.
- Default Cell Layout has the settings that will be applied as default to all the cells in the table, unless other settings are made for header, data and total cells.
- Header Cell Layout has the settings that will be applied to all header cells except the total cell. Settings made here will override any applied by the Row Layout and Default Cell Layout properties.
- Data Cell Layout has the settings that will be applied to all data cells except the total data cells. Settings made here will override any applied by the Row Layout and Default Cell Layout properties.
- Total Header Cell Layout has settings for the Total column and row headers. Settings made here will override any applied by the Row Layout and Default Cell Layout properties.
- Total Data Cell Layout has settings for the data cells in the total row and column. Settings made here will override any applied by the Row Layout and Default Cell Layout properties.
- Header Lines Layout has settings for the lines in the headers of the row elements when “Row nesting” is set to “Separate Lines” (go to Row Nesting for more information).
The formatting for all of these is achieved by setting HTML style properties (CSS).
Note: A property that is set in a ...Cell Layout tab overrides the same property that is set in the Row Layout tab, and a property that is set in the Row Layout tab overrides the same property that is set in the Table Layout tab.
