Table basics in Tangelo

In Tangelo, you can create, edit, or delete tables with ease. This guide outlines the basic table functions within Tangelo...

Creating a table

To create a table in Tangelo, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Insert tab in the top menu and select Tables.

2. Choose the desired table size. Tangelo will generate the table, with the first row automatically designated as a header row.

3. You can customize table settings by clicking inside the table and accessing the Table tab in the top menu.

Adding or removing rows and columns

• Adding: Click the + icon to add a row or column.

• Removing: Select the row or column header (it will turn blue), and click the displayed icon to remove it.

Adjusting column widths

You can set specific column widths:

1. Go to the Table tab in the top menu.
2. Use the Column widths button to make adjustments.

 By default, Column A is set to auto-sizing since it often contains the most text, while other columns typically hold numerical data. For connected tables, Tangelo automatically adjusts column widths based on data from the Excel file.

Table properties

Common Properties: Access basic table settings via the Table tab in the top menu or by right-clicking inside the table.

Breadcrumb Path: The breadcrumb at the top shows your current position within the table and allows you to adjust settings.

Properties Pane: Located on the right, this pane contains attributes tailored to your configuration. You can modify the table width, apply styles, or add special attributes here.

Adding titles or subtitles

To add a title, subtitle, or caption:

1. Click on the table in the breadcrumb path.
2. Use the submenu to insert the desired element.
3. Alternatively, right-click on the table to access the same options.

You can also use this menu to move the table up or down within the text.

Tables spanning multiple pages

By default, Tangelo prevents tables from splitting across pages, keeping them together on the next page.

• For large tables spanning multiple pages, disable the Keep together setting at the table level to allow breaking across pages.

Displaying tables

• Smaller Tables: Displayed with all content visible.
• Larger Tables: Initially collapsed to improve loading times.

To view a collapsed table:

1. Click the gray box representing the table.
2. Tangelo will display a summary of the table, and clicking the box again will reveal the full table:
   

This streamlined approach helps optimize performance without sacrificing functionality.
