Inserting a table and adding content

Use the Insert bar or the Insert menu to create a new table. Then, add text and images to table cells the same way that you add text and images outside of a table (see Inserting and Formatting Text and Inserting Images).

To insert a table:

  1. In the Design view of the Document window, place the insertion point where you want the table to appear.

    Note: If your document is blank, then the only place you can place the insertion point is at the beginning of the document.

  2. Do one of the following:
  3. Complete the dialog box.

    For more information, see Setting the Insert Table dialog box options.

  4. Click OK.

The table appears in the document.

I already have a site built with pages developed in layers, with the hide and show behavior (tabbed interfaces, I think they are called). Anyway, I would like to put all page into a table so I can center it. Is there an easy way to add the html command at this late date, and how do I do that. I think I will mess everything up if I try to drag everything into a table at this point.

You can easily convert layers to tables. See Help > Using Dreamweaver > Laying Out Pages > Laying Out Pages with CSS > Converting Layers to Tables for more information.

Switch to Code view (View > Code) and find the <body> tag. Immediately after the body tag, cut and paste the following tags: <table><tr><td align="center">. Next find the closing body tag </body> near the bottom of the page. Just before the tag, cut and paste the following tags to close the table: </td></tr></table>. This creates a table with one row (<tr>) and one center-aligned cell (<td align="center">) containing all the content in your page.
