Use AutoFormat for Fast, Easy Tables

In Microsoft FrontPageŽ version 2002, Table AutoFormat helps you quickly create professional looking tables on your web pages. Create a table and then use the AutoFormat feature to select a style you want to use. Applying the style automatically changes your table's size, font properties, borders, shading, and colors. 

To use Table AutoFormat, open a new page and create a new table or open a page with an existing table in FrontPage 2002, and do the following: 

  1. Click on the table while editing it in Page view.
  2. In the Table menu, select Table AutoFormat.
  3. In Formats:, select from the list of 33 table format designs to create the look you want.
  4. To further customize the table format, select options under Formats to apply and Apply special formats.
  5. Click OK.

Tip: Two other new table-editing features in the Table menu of FrontPage 2002 are Table Fill and Split Table. 

  • You can easily repeat the contents of an individual cell by clicking on the cell to copy, then selecting that cell and adjacent cells to copy to by dragging the cursor over them. Go to the Table menu and select Fill, then Right or Fill, and then Down. 
  • Split Table allows you to divide a table at any location to quickly and easily add text or graphics in between rows in a table. Just click the table row you want to be the first row of the second table, go to the Table menu and select Split Table.
