Content Editor - Inserting a Table

The Content Editor gives you the option to insert tables into your web pages using the Insert Table button. This makes it easier for you to set up and customize your website’s layout using tables.

To access this feature, create or open a web page in your website’s Web Admin. In the Content Editor window, click the Insert Table button or the arrow beside it:
