  3. In the first two fields (Rows and Cols), enter the desired number of rows and columns for the new table.
  4. The Width field determines how much space the new table will occupy on the screen. Select the measurement unit (percent, pixels, or points) and enter the value in the Width field.
  5. In the Alignment drop-down list, select how the table will be aligned: to the left, center, or right of the web page.
  6. In the Border thickness field, enter the width of the table borders (in pixels). Enter 0 to make them invisible.
  7. In the Cell spacing field, enter the number of pixels to specify the space between the cells of the table. This value can be used to create margins within the text.
  8. In the Cell padding field, enter the number of pixels to set spacing between the boundary of the cell and the text inside the cell.
  9. Click OK.

The new table appears on the web page. Click in a table cell to type the information.
