Cell Spacing

Determines the number of pixels between adjacent table cells.

If you don’t explicitly assign values for cell padding and cell spacing, most browsers display the table as if cell padding
were set to 1 and cell spacing were set to 2. To ensure that browsers display the table with no padding or spacing, set

Cell Padding and Cell Spacing to 0.

Width

Specifies the width of the table in pixels, or as a percentage of the browser window’s width.

Border

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

If you don’t explicitly assign a value for border, most browsers display the table as if the border were set to 1. To ensure
that browsers display the table with no border, set Border to 0. To view cell and table boundaries when the border is

set to 0, select View > Visual Aids > Table Borders.

Starting Row

Sets the row number entered as the first row to include in the repeating region.
