1. Exercise 39 - Skills
A table on your Web page provides one of the best ways to organize and align graphics, text and other objects on the page. You can design a table to be an obvious part of the page: to show the object itself or you can make it invisible so that it simply holds the page elements in place.

2. Exercise 39 - Terms Cell – The intersection of a row and column.
Cell Padding – The space between a cell’s content and its border.
Cell Spacing – The space between cells.
Columns – Vertical sections of the table.
Merge Cells – The process of combining several cells to create one larger cell.
Rows – Horizontal sections of a table.
Split Cells – The process of dividing a single cell into multiple rows or columns.

Merge Cells
Span text in rows and columns.

4. Working with Tables
You use tables on your pages to organize and align elements on your page. A table is a grid made up of rows and columns. A table can consist of only a few rows and columns, or you can use it to organize an entire Web page.
If you want to set the spacing used within the cells, you can insert values for cell padding and cell spacing when creating the table. Cell padding is the distance between cell text and a cell border. Cell spacing is the amount of space between cells.
When you split cells, you break one cell into two or more cells in a column or row. When you merge cells, you combine more than one cell to create a single, larger cell.
Before you can change the table, you need to select a portion of the table or the entire table. Use these guidelines for selecting table elements:
Select a single cell by clicking in it.
Select a column using the column header menu. Or, position the pointer so that it touches the top edge of the column. When the pointer becomes a solid black arrow, click the mouse button to select the column. You can also select a row this way—position the pointer so that it touches the left edge of the row and click.
To add a new row elsewhere in the table or a new column, use the commands on the Modify > Table submenu:
Click Modify > Table > Insert Row to insert a new row above the currently selected cell.
Click Modify > Table > Insert Column to insert a new column to the left of the currently selected cell. You can also use the column header menu to insert a new column to the right or left of the currently selected cell.
