Insert Table (HTML) Dialog Box
Use the Insert Table dialog box to determine the characteristics of the new table.
* 
Several of the options on this dialog box are specified in pixels. For publishing purposes, one pixel is equal to 1/96 of an inch. In Arbortext Architect, one pixel is defined as 1/72 of an inch.
The following options set the initial state of your new table:
• Table Size — Enter the initial number of rows and columns you would like in your table.
• Border Width — Enter the desired width for the outer frame border around the current table. The only supported unit is pixels provided in whole numbers; the default value is 1 pixel. If you wish to disable all borders in your table, clear the Border Width check box.
• Cell Spacing — Enter the desired value for the space between the table's outer border and the table cells. The only supported unit is pixels, provided in whole numbers; the default value is 1 pixel.
• Cell Padding — Enter the desired value for the space between the center of the cell wall and the cell contents. The Cell Padding setting affects all the cells in the table. The only supported unit is pixels, provided in whole numbers; the default value is 2 pixels.
• Background Color — select a background color for the table. Choose More Colors to display the Web-safe Colors dialog box.
