Advanced Tables

In this section we are going to create more complex tables.

We will recreate the table below:

College of Science and Math
Biological Sciences	Computer Science	Mathematics
Biochemestry	Information Systems	Physics
College of Humanities, Arts, Behavioral and Social Sciences
Anthropology	Literature and Writing Studies	Sociology
Communication	Modern Language Studies	Visual and Performing Arts
Economics	Philosophy	Women's Studies
History	Political Science
Liberal Studies	Psychology
College of Business
Accounting	Global Business Management	Management
Finance	Global Supply Chain Management	Marketing
College of Education, Health and Human Services
Education - Credential	Human Development	Nursing
Education - Masters	Kinesiology	Nursing - Masters

The table isn't too complex at first look. But the headings each have merged cells. And since some of the content wraps inside the cells, the vertical alignment will be off until it is fixed.

To start:

1. Click the "Inserts a new table" button
2. Choose number of columns and rows
3. Cellpadding and cellspaceing should be 3
4. Alignment should never be center. Set it to nothing ot "Left"
5. Border: 0
6. Width: 100% or less (in this case it is 50%)
7. Class: Table-Alt-H
8. Click "Ok"
9. Submit your page changes. (If you don't submit the page, the table cells will not appear)

Type in your content for the table cells.

Each section needs to become a heading, and the entire row's cells need to be merged.

1. Highlight the first row of the table
2. Right Click and Choose "Cell| Merge table cells"
3. Right Click inside that cell and choose "Cell/ Table cell properties"
4. Cell Type: Header
5. Click "Update"

This will both merge the entire row into one cell, and create a header style. to see the results, submit the page.

Repeat this process for each section that you need a header.

Because the content in the table wraps in some of the cells, not all of the cells have the same vertical alignment. to fix this, the vertical alignment can be set for the entire table.

1. Right click any cell and choose "Cell| Table cell properties"
2. Set Vertical alignment to: Top
3. At the bottom of this windowm choose "Update all cells in table"
4. Click "Update"
