Tables are commonly used to display or organize data. Data tables act as discrete elements of a Web page, much like tables inserted into word processing programs.
Tables can also direct page layout.
Table columns and rows can be used to control where text and graphics are placed with more precision than is typical with simple HTML, which is limited in its ability to handle multiple spaces and tabs. Insert a table. Position your cursor where you want the table to appear and click once. You can also insert a variety of objects into your HTML document simply by placing the cursor where you want an item to go, clicking the right mouse button, and dragging the mouse to select the appropriate object you want to insert. Decide what do you want your table to look like.
