Tables:
Tables, which are made up of "cells" formed by rows and columns, can come in handy in many ways when designing a website. By using tables, you can organize text, hold images, and even make a web page layout. This section of the tutorial will teach you how to utilize tables in Dreamweaver MX 2004.

Inserting a Table:
To insert a table into your web page in Dreamweaver MX 2004, go to the menu bar and select "Insert," and then "Table.”

Alternatively, you can insert a table by clicking on the “Tables” button from the “Layout” drop-down.

When you select “Insert” >> “Table,” a pop up window will appear. It will ask you to input some information about your table. The information you input in this Table window will decide what your table will look like. This window has a few text fields that you will need to know about. Read the numbered list below and use the corresponding numbers on the image to see how to insert your table:

1. Rows:
   Number of rows the table will have.
2. Columns:
   Number of columns the table will have.
3. Table Width:

4. Percent/Pixels:

6. Cell Padding:
   The padding between items inside a cell and the cell’s borders.
7. Cell Spacing:
   The padding between cells, themselves.
8. Header:
   The header area will automatically be formatted for titles, etc.
