You can format tables using the Table Properties dialog.
When you insert a table in a topic using the Insert a Table icon on the Oxygen Web Author toolbar, IXIA CCMS Web uses the following set of default properties to create the table:
A table title
A header row
2-columns
3-rows
You can use the other icons on the Oxygen Web Author toolbar to
add or delete rows or columns. However, you must use the Table Properties dialog to edit other properties of a table, such
as table alignment or borders.
To edit the formatting of a table:
Right-click anywhere within the table, and select Table Properties.
Note: If you want to change the properties of a row or a
column, you must right-click within that row or column.
Figure: Table Properties dialog
Change the necessary table properties.
Properties that you set on the Table tab cascade down
to individual rows, columns, and cells. For example, if you set the alignment to
center at the table level, all table cells are also center-aligned.
