Creating and formatting tables

You can create tables in FrameMaker documents, edit them, and apply table formats to them. Tables can have
heading rows, body rows, and footing rows. Each row consists of table cells that contain the actual contents of the
table.

Tables are like paragraphs in that they have a format. A table format controls the appearance of a table, including the
number and width of columns, the types of ruling or shading in rows and columns, and the table's position in a text
column. Table formats can be named, stored in a Table Catalog, and applied to many tables. A table format can also
be defined locally.
In a FrameMaker document, tables appear where they have been placed in the text flow. A table behaves like an
anchored frame, so a table flows with the surrounding text unless you give it a specific location. In a MIF file, the
document's tables are collected in one place and a placeholder for each table indicates the table's position in the text
flow.
