Select Insert > Table Objects > Import Tabular Data.

2. Specify the options for the tabular data and click OK.

Data File The name of the file to import. Click the Browse button to select a file.

Delimiter The delimiter used in the file you’re importing.

If you select Other, a text box appears to the right of the pop-up menu. Enter the delimiter used in your file.

Note: Specify the delimiter that was used when the data file was saved. If you don’t do this, the file will not be imported properly, and your
data will not be correctly formatted in a table.

Table Width The width of the table.

Select Fit to Data to make each column wide enough to fit the longest text string in the column.

Select Set to specify a fixed table width in pixels or as a percentage of the browser window’s width.

Border Specifies the width, in pixels, of the table’s borders.

Cell Padding The number of pixels between a cell’s content and the cell boundaries.

Cell Spacing The number of pixels between adjacent table cells.

If you don’t explicitly assign values for borders, cell spacing, and cell padding, most browsers display the table with borders and cell
padding set to 1, and cell spacing set to 2. To ensure that browsers display the table with no padding or spacing, set Cell Padding and
Cell Spacing to 0. To view cell and table boundaries when the border is set to 0, select View > Visual Aids > Table Borders.

Format Top Row Determines what formatting, if any, is applied to the top row of the table. Select from four formatting options: no
formatting, bold, italic, or bold italic.

Export a table

1. Place the insertion point in any cell of the table.

2. Select File > Export > Table.

3. Specify the following options:

Delimiter Specifies which delimiter character should be used to separate items in the exported file.

Line Breaks Specifies which operating system you’ll be opening the exported file in: Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX. (Different operating
systems have different ways of indicating the end of a line of text.)

4. Click Export.

5. Enter a name for the file and click Save.

Select table elements

You can select an entire table, row, or column at once. You can also select one or more individual cells.

When you move your pointer over a table, row, column, or cell, Dreamweaver highlights all the cells in that selection so that you know which cells
will be selected. This is useful when you have tables without borders, cells that span multiple columns or rows, or nested tables. You can change
the highlight color in preferences.

If you position the pointer over a table’s border, then hold the Control key (Windows) or Command key (Macintosh), the entire structure of the
table—that is, all cells in the table—is highlighted. This is useful when you have nested tables and want to see the structure of one of the
tables.

Select an entire table

Do one of the following:

Click the upper-left corner of the table, anywhere on the top or bottom edge of the table, or on a row or column’s border.

Note: The pointer changes to the table grid icon when you can select the table (unless you click a row or column border).

Click in a table cell, then select the tag in the tag selector at the lower-left corner of the Document window.

Click in a table cell, then select Modify > Table > Select Table.

Click in a table cell, click the table header menu, then select Select Table. Selection handles appear on the selected table’s lower and right
edges.

Select individual or multiple rows or columns

1. Position the pointer to point to the left edge of a row or the top edge of a column.

2. When the pointer changes to a selection arrow, click to select a row or column, or drag to select multiple rows or columns.
