Tables


Tables allow you to quickly arrange information in a grid, while still being able to manipulate colors and fonts.  The following is a walkthrough of some of the nifty things you can do with tables.


First you will need to create a table. To do this choose the menu item Format ▸ Table.


A table with 2 rows and 3 columns will be inserted.  This palette will pop up:

Right now your page will be looking like this:

Pressing the up arrow next to the Rows box will increase the number of rows. Same thing goes for the Columns box. In the example below the table now has 4 rows.


If the Table Palette is grayed out and not letting you hit any buttons, try clicking in one of the cells. This tells VoodooPad that THAT'S the table that you want to modify.

With information in the table, you can start doing some fun stuff.  You can simply select text and start changing properties like you normally would.  For help with changing text check out the page on VoodooPad Font Color.



Alignment

You can also manipulate the alignment of the text both horizontally AlignmentOptions.pngand vertically.verticalalignment.png



Cell Border


With one or more cells selected you can change the cell border, as well as color.  For the top left most cell, the border has been set to 0px so it will not show up.  The border has also been changed to black for some the cells.



Cell Background


The background can also be changed, adding a little 'jazz' to your table.  Changing Cell Background from None to Fill Color will allow you to pick a color to set as the background.

If you are feeling adventurous you can also Nest Tables, putting 1 table inside of another.  Merge and Split Cells bring multiple cells together, or rip them apart.
