To Use Custom Backgrounds.

1.Click the Tables Icon

2. A new window will pop up. Click Rows and Columns. In the rows and Colums box you will see #2. Change this to #1 so you have one row and one column.

3. Next click Padding and Spacing. In the Padding box Type any number you want. Small numbers make thin frames in your table. Large numbers make wider frames. See the Frames on the sides. The wider ones are 15 the smaller ones are 5. Variations in sizes make more interesting frames. Set your Cell Spacing to 0. You do not need cell spacing to make Frames.

4. Click Borders. Set your border width to 0, unless you particularly want a plain coloured border around the table. If you do want a plain border, then chose your border colour and set the border number according to how thick you want it. Small numbers make thin borders. Large numbers make wide borders. The outside table in this set has a border width of 3. The next one has a border width of 1 the next one has a border width of 0

5. Click Background. We are now going to put an image URL into the box.

6. First you need to place your images in an Album or someplace on the web where you can see them and find their URL..See Making a Photo Album

Go to where your images are stored

7. Chose which Background you wish to use..Click on the small thumbnail in your album so you get the larger picture

Right Click on the picture and you will see a drop down menu as in the picture below.

Click On Properties. A new window will pop up showing you the address ( URL ) of your picture

8. Triple click (3 fast clicks in succession) on the address bar so it is all highlighted. Or you can click and drag over the whole lot but make sure you get ALL of it. Copy It. ( Ctrl + C ).. You can then close down that window.

9. Go back to your discussion window and paste the URL into the box. Press Ctrl + V to paste it.

10. Click the Insert Table Button under the colour chart. and your table should appear in your reply window.as in the sample below.

To add more tables inside the table. Simply repeat the whole process as many times as you like. Your Tables will expand as you put writing and pictures inside them.

Have Fun. Please post your work or any questions below.

I did it.............. EEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWW....

ooooops I forgot to put the poem in............

but that's ok i did it anyway LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Well I got half of it right... I need work on how to add the writing though ..... and how to adjust the backgrounds

OK if you add the writing directly from the site you won't get all the <OP> stuff

And as for adjusting the layers you click on a specific layer to make it have the dots around it then click the columns button again, then click adjust columns or whatever it is you can go and change numbers for that specific layer

Try it I know it works You may have to do it in a place like a web page so you can go in and edit the page, though. I don't think you can do it in a post.

add your text here

let's see how this goes

the above is borrowed from another group i'm in

now i try to make one myself:

don't pay attention to the colour

i'm just trying out some things

        looks  like it is

doing what i want

well, almost

Christelijke muziek koop je bij Gospel.nl

OK Mar, now build yourself a web page on this site, and see if you can do it . Use the things in the album on the main site, that is named Q poems or something like that.

I deleted the one I did but I wish you'd leave yours there. I will make another later.

lol, this was an answer to BayRosie's deleted post ...

but the mail delivery took so long that it arrived after my own post

now it looks as though i am complementing myself while i meant to say well done BayRosie!

To get the right wdth make sure you have everything inside you want inside, then you click your curser inside at the left edge of the one you want to widen. and hit the spacebar as many times as necessary to widen as it reachs the opposite side. you have to make sure all the writting is in too or it will widen more as you go accross. (unless you backspace to take out a space to compensate)

When you are finished with the entering all you need inside you can put your curser at the left lower to hit enter as many times as needed to lengthen.

Is that making sense?
