Practice Training for "Adding Tables"[edit | edit source]
Creating a table using the FCK Editor Insert/Edit Table icon
. [edit | edit source]
- After signing in to the Wiki, located the section where I wished to add a table, and clicked the Edit section icon.
- On the FCK/Rich Text Editor toolbar, clicked the Insert/Edit Table icon
.
- This is what came up:
4. The default text in some of these boxes were changed as follows: Rows: 4; Columns: 3; Headers:
First Row. (This setting makes the headings bold.) The rest of the pre-filled boxes were left
alone. These were added to blank fields: Caption: Example Table; Summary: Create table for demo purposes.
5. This is what it looks like:
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
---|---|---|
Row 2 | ||
Row 3 | ||
Row 4 |
Adding a Table from OpenOffice Writer v. 2.4.1:[edit | edit source]
To create the table and move it to this Wiki page:[edit | edit source]
- Opened OpenOffice Writer (on my flash drive) and created a simple table.
- Followed the directions found at wiki.familysearch.org/en/User:SuperGenealogist/Sandbox#From_OpenOffice_version_2.4.1: to transfer the table.
- This is what it looks like:
Row 2 | ||
Row 3 | ||
Row 4 |
To put borders around the table:[edit | edit source]
- Repeated the steps above.
- Saved the page.
- In the FCK Editor, right-clicked the table, and then selected Table Properties.
- In the box labeled Borders, typed a "1."
- This is what it looks like:
Row 2 | ||
Row 3 | ||
Row 4 |
(Note: OpenOffice.org Calc, which is similar to Microsoft Office Excel, does not offer an option to convert to MediaWiki.txt. It does, however, offer options to convert to PDF or XHTML.)
