Setting Up Tables 13
As with any sorting program, if you leave blank cells in the column on which you??™re basing the
sort, those rows appear as a group on top of the table for an ascending sort and at the end for
a descending sort. Make sure that all the cells in your sort criteria column are filled correctly.
Importing Tabular Data
In the computer age, there??™s nothing more frustrating than having information in a digital format and still
having to enter it manually??”either by typing it in or by cutting and pasting??”to get it on the Web. This
frustration is multiplied when it comes to table data, whether created in a spreadsheet or database program.
You have to transfer numerous small pieces of data, and it all has to be properly related and positioned.
Dreamweaver??™s Import Table Data command goes a long way toward alleviating the tedium??”not to mention
the frustration??”of dealing with tabular information. The Import Table Data command reads any
delimited text file and inserts the information in a series of rows and columns. You can even set most characteristics
for the table to be created, including the width, cell padding, cell spacing, and border.
Quite often, the first step in the process of importing table data into Dreamweaver is exporting it from
another program.
