Specifying the number of Rows and Columns
New tables come with a default number of rows and columns. You can change this via the properties of the table item. The properties can be find in the upper right corner of the application.
Editing the Text in Table Cells
You can edit the table by double-clicking it with the left mouse button. Worksheet Crafter switches to the input mode allowing you to edit the text of the clicked table cell. Use the TAB key to switch to the next table cell. The mouse can be used to select and modify the formatting of multiple table cells at once.
The width of the columns can be configured with the mouse by dragging the column borders. The row height is based on the content of the row and can not be set with the mouse. If you add more lines of text to your table or increase the font size then the row height will increase as well.
Border and Background Color
When editing a table you will see a custom toolbar above the table. This toolbar provides commands for setting the border and background color of the currently selected table cell(s). To change the border lines, first choose your line color and line thickness in the toolbar. Then click on the table cell border symbols in the middle of the toolbar to set the line properties on the chosen border.
