Table in an html box

Freeway
1

Is there a way to have a table centered within an html box? I also want the box to float, so it encompasses the entire table. I tried turning the vertical box of in the palette, but it ends up with just a thin box.

Any links if this has been discussed (my search came up empty) are appreciated.

Thanks.

Sure. You just need to make the table in-line inside the html box.

  1. Draw out your html box, then double click inside of it to get the flashing cursor.
  2. From the Insert Menu choose Table
  3. Click outside the page area to deselect everything, then click on the html box to select it and go to the Inspector pallet. Set the padding to something appropriate, say 20 pixels.
  4. Click on the table and drag it out to fill the html box.

You will find that the table is now centered in the box with a 20 pixel border.

I had tried to take an existing table and put it into an html box without any luck.

If you use the clipboard (cut and paste) you can get any object inside an HTML box very simply.

  1. Cut your existing table (or any other object) to the clipboard.
  2. Double-click inside the HTML box until you see a flashing text cursor.
  3. Paste.
