Tables and Columns Overview |
|
With Nota Bene, you have a number of options for tables and columns.
For a video demonstration of tables and research results tables, see https://www.notabene.com/videos.html
Tables: The Tables dialog (Format, Tables, Create) is used to create a standard table or a research results table. Simple tables with no borders can be created using tabs.
Standard Tables: The Table function in Nota Bene can be used to create tables consist of up to 12 columns and as many rows as you want. The intersection of a column and a row creates a "cell." Text can be entered in the cells and the words wrap from line to line within each individual cell. The table is initially set up with just one row and additional rows are added easily as you work. Rows can also be moved or deleted and columns can be added, moved or deleted. See Tables.
Research Results Tables: The Research Results Table is tailored for use in research papers that use academic manuals of style like Chicago, Turabian or APA.
Parallel Texts: Parallel texts (Format, Parallel Texts, Create) are regular tables that can contain lengthy paragraphs. Begin a new row at the place where you want the columns to align.
Columns: If you want the columns to wrap from the left column to the right column, use snaking columns (Format, Snaking Columns, Create). If you do not want them to wrap, use tables.
Snaking columns: Up to 12 columns can be created in Nota Bene and text will wrap from the bottom of one column to the top of the next column as it would in a newspaper. This is called "snaking," and columns are therefore sometimes referred to as "snaking columns." If you want columns that are not snaking, use a cellular table with only one row. See Snaking columns or Snaking columns: SN command.
Columns/tables: If you do not want the columns to wrap from the left column to the right column, you can use the tables function to create a table with just one row. The one row can continue from page to page so that text that is entered in the left column will always be on the left side. If you want the text on the left to break in the same place as the text on the right, use parallel texts.
Borders: Borders can be hidden or displayed, and you have a lot of options. The border is put in place when you set up the table or column, but it can be changed at any time. For instructions, click one of the links below:
Tabular tables: Tabular tables are created by using tabs, and are appropriate for very simple tables that do not have borders. Tabs can be left-aligned, right-aligned, centered or decimal-aligned and the type of tab chosen will affect the appearance of the table. Tabular tables can be created with the menus, the action line or the ruler. See Tabular tables.
