Insert a table

This tutorial covers inserting a table, inserting table rows (see steps 10 to 14 below), and inserting table columns (see steps 18-20 below).

To insert a table on a page:

  1. Navigate to the desired page and click on Edit.
  2. Place your cursor in the main page content area and then click on the Table drop-down menu in the WYSIWYG editor.

  14. Now that your table has been created and completed, you'll need to add a proper heading row.  To do this, you have to edit the source code for the table. Click on the source code icon in the WYSIWYG editor.

    click on the source code icon
  15. You will need to add the following html code for the headings just before <tbody>.
    Here is a text version that you can copy and paste: 
    <thead>
    <tr><th>Name</th><th>Telephone</th><th>Email Address</th></tr>
    </thead>

    add header code
  16. Click OK.

    click ok
  17. You'll see the table headings have been added.

  21. The last step to creating our table is to add the zebra custom style, so our table rows will be alternating gray and white. Make sure you have the entire table selected. Click on the Formats drop-down in the WYSIWYG editor and select Custom > zebra.

    click on format custom and zebra
  22. When you are finished, click on the ellipsis and then click on submit.

Note: When pasting a table from Word into Cascade, you may encounter issues with the formatting and sizing of your table. To avoid this, set the preferred column width in Word to measure in Percent, rather than centimeters/inches: Table properties > Column > Preferred width.
