Tables

To create a table:

  1. Place your cursor wherever you want to insert the table. Click the Table dropdown.

  2. Select the desired number of rows and columns by moving your mouse over the grid.

  3. After inserting the table, identify which cells should act as headers based on the table structure.

    To mark cells as headers, select the appropriate cells, right-click, then go to Cell → Cell Properties.

    • For a table with a header row, change:
      • Cell Type to Header Cell
      • Scope to Column
    • For a header column, change:
      • Cell Type to Header Cell
      • Scope to Row

    Use a header row when the top row labels the columns. See the example below:

    Fall 2026 Course Schedule
    Course Instructor Meeting Time
    ENG 101 Dr. Martinez MWF 9:00 AM
    HIST 210 Prof. Lee TR 1:30 PM

    Use a header column when the first column labels the rows. See the example below:

    Library Study Room Availability
    Room A Available
    Room B Reserved
    Room C Available

  4. Right-click anywhere in the table to view options for modifying the table. You can add or delete rows and columns, merge cells, or delete the table.

  5. Add content to the table cells. Since the templates are responsive, the table cells will adjust based on the content.

  6. After editing the table content, select the table and choose Table Properties from the Table menu in the WYSIWYG toolbar.

  7. In the Table Properties popup window, check the Caption field and click OK.

    If your site uses the V3 template, a blank caption field will appear below the table. If your site uses the V2 template, it will appear above the table.

  8. Enter a title for your table in the caption field. This step is required for accessibility.

Note

  • V3 sites have an additional social media bar that runs horizontally in the footer.
  • You can also add a table caption during Cascade content checks. If a table is missing a caption, you will see an error under the accessibility tab during the content check. Go to the accessibility tab and click the fix option to add a caption.
  • Do not use heading styles (H1-H6) inside tables.
  • If you need help with this step or have a table with merged cells, email WebComm Support and we will walk you through the steps.
