How can I change the "look" of my table?

Back to Tables

When you're ready to format, put your cursor in the top left-hand cell, then select the table icon from the editing menu. 

1. First, select Table Properties. When the editing box appears, set the width and height, if you have constraints (though it is okay to leave this blank). 
2. Next, set the cell spacing (the distance between cells), and the cell padding (the white space within the cell between the border and the information in the cell).
3. Finally, set a border. Though some tables don't need borders, large tables or tables with full cells will need borders to help students keep track of their location within the table. 
4. When you're done setting these properties, select OK. You may want to play around with the padding, spacing, and border until the ratio is right for your information.
