After you create the initial table and
cells, you can select, resize, move, or even delete the table and cells
to fine tune it. When you move or resize a cell in a table, there are a
few things you need to avoid. These include overlapping cells, crossing
the boundaries of the table, and making the cell smaller than its
contents. Before you can resize, move, or delete a table or cell, you
need to select it first. You can select the table by clicking the table
header arrow at the top or an outside table edge, or select a cell by
clicking a cell edge. When you select the table or place the insertion
point in the table, the widths of tables and cells appear at the top or
bottom of the table in pixels or as a percentage of the page width. Next
to the widths are arrows for the table and column headers you can use
to display a menu with related commands. When you point to a table edge,
Dreamweaver highlights it to make it easier to see.
