At the beginners training on 25th June we were shown a way of drawing your own table - can you remind me of which button to use. Thank you

Hi Gill,

These instructions are for Dreamweaver version 8 or above.

Ensure the Insert panel is shown (Window -> Insert or Contorl+F2)

Change the dropdown box (the first item on the Insert toolbar) to be 'Layout'.

Now see the three buttons half-way along: Standard, Extended and Layout. Press the 'Layout' button. A bar with 'layout mode [exit]' should appear at the top of the document.

Next to the 'Layout' button you just pressed, there is a 'Layout table' tool button. Press this to switch to layout table mode.

Now on your design view, you should see a cross-hairs mouse cursor, you can click and drag a table layout.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Rich

Thanks Rich - I've got to the 3 buttons: Standard, Extended & layout but they are greyed out so I can't get any further - any suggestions gratefully recieved.
thanks very much
Gill

Gill,

Ensure you have started a new blank document in Dreamweaver.

Also ensure your cursor is flashing in Design view, not code view.

Try these things. If you still can't press the button, let me know here, and i'll investigate further.
