Adding a table element

You can create a table and specify the rows and columns from the editing view or by using the palette.

About this task

Tip: In the Microsoft Word and PDF output formats, consecutive tables appear as a single table in the generated output. The columns do not have the same width across these merged tables unless the col width property is set for each of the tables. When tables are merged, it is possible that the same row might display multiple times if the same data is displaying for multiple tables. You can use the once per table property to remove the duplicate rows.

Procedure

  1. In the Palette view, select the Table icon Table element and drag it into the template content editor.
    The New Table window opens.
  2. In the New Table window, enter the number of rows and columns for the table.
    Note: By default, Insert the Text element within every Cell option is selected, and the Text element is inserted within every Cell.
  3. Click OK.

What to do next

You can add a container to the table element to help manage the data in the table.
Important: After you add a container to a table, row, or cell element, you cannot move that query outside of the table element. Containers are handled differently inside tables and that context does not apply outside of a table element. Use new container elements when necessary.
