The alignment specifies if the table is centered in the middle of the document or that it's set to the right or left side of the document.
Align LEFT
Aligns the table along the
left margin, and all text following that table is wrapped in the space between
that table and the right side of the pagez
Align=RIGHT
does the same thing,
with the table aligned to the right side of the page. Centering tables is
slightly more difficult.
ALIGN=CENTER - not
supported
Currently, no browsers support ALIGN=CENTER on tables.
However, you can use the <CENTER> or <DIV ALIGN=CENTER> tags to
center the table and Matrix Y2K uses the <center> tag for centering the
table.
Border ?
If you would like to have a border around your table then specify hear how big the border must be.
Border Color
Here you can select the color of the border of the table.
Background Color
Here you can specify the background color of the table. This will color the whole background of the
table.
Table Width
Table width specifies how wide your table will be if you fill in 100% then the table will be as wide as 100% of the width of of your document but you can also fill in for example "200"" then the table will have a size wich it will always be.
