Hi Newbie,
You may wish you had never asked !!
Step 1) define the table, click on the first icon
[table][/table] I usually find it easier to have the begginning and end tags on seperate lines
[table]
[/table]
Step 2) add as many lines as you need (2nd icon)
[table]
[tr][/tr]
[tr][/tr]
[tr][/tr]
[/table]
Step 3) insert cursor between the tr] and [/tr and add the table cells (3rd icon)
[table]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]
Step 4) Fill in the cells (cursor between the td] and [/td )
[table]
[tr][td]line 1, cell 1[/td][td]line 1, cell 2[/td][td]line 1, cell 3[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]line 2, something or other[/td][td]line 2, some more stuff[/td][td]line 2, yet more stuff[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]there must be[/td][td]an easier way[/td][td]of making a living[/td][/tr]
[/table]
| line 1, cell 1 | line 1, cell 2 | line 1, cell 3 | | line 2, something or other | line 2, some more stuff | line 2, yet more stuff | | there must be | an easier way | of making a living |
Variations on a theme:
once you have defined one line
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
copy it for as many lines as you need
If you think you've mastered it, try writing the results of a look up as a table
It will look great, but you'll probably say "once is enough !!!"
Good luck,
Bob

I have wanted to write up look ups in table form for ages ! so much easier to read. once I have a format worked out, when I find the ICON, is there anyway of saving it, (eg preferences) to use again, and again, and again.....

is there anyway of saving it Not on RootsChat, but once you have the basic format, save it in an editor, as a template, and make copies for individual postings
Tip: use the "preview" often, to make sure it's right
another tip:
It is not a "must" but I sometimes find it easier to line up the cells
i.e.
[table]
[tr][td]line 1, cell 1[/td][td]line 1, cell 2[/td][td]line 1, cell 3[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]line 2, something or other[/td][td]line 2, some more stuff[/td][td]line 2, yet more stuff[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]there must be[/td][td]an easier way[/td][td]of making a living[/td][/tr]
[/table] becomes
[table]
[tr][td]line 1, cell 1 [/td][td]line 1, cell 2 [/td][td]line 1, cell 3[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]line 2, something or other[/td][td]line 2, some more stuff[/td][td]line 2, yet more stuff[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]there must be [/td][td]an easier way [/td][td]of making a living[/td][/tr]
[/table] if you are preparing your postings in an editor, it will be much clearer to see the columns, as columns !
