Although Layout mode is an excellent method for quickly structuring a page, you should be aware of some
limitations:
n Layout tables and cells can only be drawn in the area of the Document window that does not have
any code associated with it. In other words, you need to draw layout cells and tables below the
apparent end of the document. The result is that the new table code is placed right before the
closing body tag.
n Two objects are disabled while in Layout mode: the standard Table object and the AP element
object.
