The TblID statement assigns a unique ID to the table instance. The TblFormat statement provides the table
format. You can use the TblFormat statement to apply a table format from the Table Catalog, apply a
format from the catalog and override some of its properties, or completely specify the table format locally.
Because the tables in a document often share similar characteristics, you usually store table formats in the
Table Catalog. Table instances can always override the applied format.
The TblNumColumns statement specifies the number of columns in the table instance. It is required in
every table.
The TblH, TblBody, and TblF statements contain the table heading, body, and footer rows. If a table does
not have a heading or footing, omit the statements.
Here's an example of a simple table that uses a default format from the Table Catalog. The table has one
heading row, one body row, and no footing rows:
You can use the following MIF statements to create this simple table:
