This code is also for a table with
three rows and three columns, but the second cell in the first row spans two columns.

Cells can also be given horizontal or vertical alignment attributes, which override any similar attributes
specified by the table row. When you give a cell a particular width, all the cells in that column are affected.
Width can be specified either in an absolute pixel measurement or as a percentage of the overall table.
Again, modern Web designers prefer to use CSS rather than HTML attributes to format and
style table cells. Both the align and bgcolor attributes have been deprecated and recent
browsers don??™t support other attributes such as height.
In Code view, you can insert a
... | pair to define a single table cell by choosing Insert ??? Table
Objects ??? TD or by clicking the Table Data button in the Tables category of the Insert bar.
Column and row headings
HTML uses a special type of cell called a table header for column and row headings.
