GRAPHICS

 

Graphics, such as the one above, can be created on the page. 

 

For ÔtrueÕ placement of text and graphics, it is best to create web content in tables.  Tables should not take up 100% of the width of the page.  This is because not all screens are the same size.  80% is advisable at the optimum width (Right Click on table, Table Properties, place tick in Preferred Width, Measure in Percent, key in 80%).   Borders should be taken off (Format, Borders and Shading, Table/Cell).  Cells may be individually shaded to effect.  Tables can be centered on the page by right clicking in the table, Table Properties, Centre.  Cells can be merged and split as required.  Also, tables can be created inside tables for effect.
