Format layout cells and tables
You can set various attributes of a layout cell in the Property inspector, including width and height, background color,

The background color for the layout cell. Click the color box and select a color in the Color Picker, or enter a

hexadecimal number corresponding to a color in the adjacent text box.
Sets the horizontal alignment of the cell's contents. You can set the alignment to Left, Center, Right, or Default.

Sets the amount of space between the content of a layout cell and the cell boundary (in pixels). If you change
CellPad
cell padding and a column width appears in parentheses for your layout table, use the Make Widths Consistent
option.
Sets the amount of space between adjacent layout cells (in pixels). If you change cell spacing and a column
CellSpace
width appears in parentheses for your layout table, use the Make Widths Consistent option.
Removes explicit height settings for all the cells in the layout table. Dreamweaver specifies
Clear Row Heights
explicit cell heights to show your layout as you drew it, even if some cells are empty. Therefore, you should select this
option only after placing content in layout cells; otherwise, empty cells might collapse vertically.
Note: Clearing row heights might have unexpected effects on empty (gray) areas in the layout table (that is, areas that
don't contain any cells). In particular, some empty rows might be removed from the table entirely, and the table might
appear to collapse vertically.
