Below is a list of all menu options under the Table menu. The Table menu option will only appear in the menu when you are working in a document.
Tip: To get help on any of these commands from VISION, click the Help button 
and select any command from the menu.
•Insert Table: Inserts a new table in the document. This option command will prompt you to enter the initial number of rows and columns in the table. The Editor initially creates the cells of equal width, and the total width of the table is equal to the width of the page. You can change the column width of any column by dragging the vertical column border.
oNote: When you work with tables, Page Mode must be selected under the View menu.
•Insert Row: Inserts a new column to the left of the column where the cursor is located. The new column will retain all of the formatting (borders, shading, etc.) and will be the size of the original column. Be sure to resize the table before you insert a column so that the table does not exceed the width of the page.
•Insert Column: Inserts a new column to the left of the column where the cursor is located. The new column will retain all of the formatting (borders, shading, etc.) and will be the size of the original column. Be sure to resize the table before you insert a column so that the table does not exceed the width of the page.
•Merge Cells: Merges the selected cells into a single table cell.
•Split Cell: Splits the current table cell into two cells of equal width. The entire text of the original cell is assigned to the first cell. The second cell that is created has no text.
oNote: This command will only work on one cell. You must repeat this command for each cell that you want to split.
•Delete Cells: Deletes the selected cells, columns, or rows. A dialog box will appear, asking you to select what you want to delete. If no cells are highlighted, this command will work on the current cell (if you delete a cell), the current row (if you delete a row) or the current column (if you delete a column). If you select the entire table, it will be deleted regardless of which option you select.
•Keep Row Together: Keeps the whole row on the same page.
•Header Row: Sets the row in which the cursor is positioned to reappear at the top of every subsequent page occupied by the table. This is useful for the first row of a long table in which the first row consists of column labels.
oMore than one row can have this property. So if a table has two rows of labels at the top, both can be designated header rows.
•Row Position: Positions the table or selected table rows. A dialog box will appear, asking you to select the position of the table as: left justified (the default when you created the table), centered, or right justified.
oNote: This command works on the entire table.
•Row Height: Sets the row height for each highlighted row in the table or for the entire table. When you select this command, a dialog box will appear, asking you to select and enter the row height parameters.
oNote: If you select "Minimum" or "Exact" under "Height", you will need to specify a height value in twips. For reference, 1440 twips equals 1 inch.
•Row Text Flow: Sets the direction of text flow in the row: left-to-right or right-to-left. This doesn’t make text go backwards; it does things like putting the bullets on the right side instead of the left. Changing the flow direction may be useful if you are writing in a language that is written right-to-left.
•Cell Rotate Text: Rotate the text 90 degrees. This is useful for a row of labels above skinny columns, as it allows the labels to be of normal length while keeping the columns narrow.
•Cell Vertical Align: Sets the vertical alignment of text within a cell: top of cell, center of cell, bottom of cell, or aligned to a baseline.
•Cell Shading: Shades the selected cells. A dialog box will appear, asking you to select all cells, selected cells, columns or rows. Cell Shading is specified in terms of the shading percentage. A value of 0 indicates a white background, whereas a value of 100 indicates a black background; a value between 0 and 100 indicates a level of gray shading.
oNote: If you change the shading percentage and the cell or cells do not appear to be shaded or the shading color does not appear to change, select File 
Print Preview from the Main Menu. In the Print Preview mode, the shading color will be displayed accurately.
•Cell Color: Sets the background color of cells. This is like cell shading, but with color instead of shades of gray. This is one of several similar, but not identical, color properties.
•Cell Width: Since cell width can be set by dragging the cell borders with the mouse, this menu item is not essential for that purpose. However, the cell margin width can also be set here. That is the gap between the cell contents and the left and right cell borders.
•Cell Border Width: Creates visible borders around some or all of the cells in the table where the cursor is positioned.
oEach border (top, bottom, left and right) can be controlled independently. A border with a width of zero will be invisible when printed, but will still be indicated on-screen by a dotted line (if Show Gridlines is on).
oNote: Border width is specified in "twips", where 1440 twips equals 1 inch.
•Cell Border Color: Sets the color of the cell borders. The color is visible only on cell borders that have some width. Use menu item Cell Border Width for that.
•Select Current Column: Selects the entire column of the table where the cursor is located.
oTip: You can also select one or more columns by positioning your cursor just above the table border. When the mouse is positioned properly, the cursor will change to a down arrow. When the arrow appears, click the left mouse button and the column will be highlighted.
•Show Gridlines: Show or hide the table gridlines. Gridlines are what indicate the cell boundaries between cells that don't have visible (i.e., printing) borders.
