Tables are a great tool to help organize your wiki pages to display data, facts and other information. Tables can be created both in the Rich Text Editor and in Wikitext. Below are instructions for creating tables in the RT editor.

Step by stepEdit

To create a table a click on the table button on the right rail of the editor.

1. In edit mode, click on the table button under the "Insert" section of the editing toolbar.

2. A popup box will appear, and allow you to choose the parameters you want for your table.

3. Once you click ok, a table will appear in your text. You can now input content. 4. Should you need to change the table parameters, simply right click, and make the needed changes.

Tips for working with tablesEdit

• One tip is to create the tables in a spreadsheet such as Open Office.org. Then adjust for the desired frames, formats of the text within the OpenOffice.org spreadsheet. Then select and copy the table and go and paste the table into the RTE editor on the desired wiki page. This offers a much more simple approach to table creation than toying with the wiki markup tags.
