More about a TABLE in iWeb
My tutorial about creating and addding a TABLE in a iWeb webpage will raise the question why not paste the table in the iWeb page.
Well, you can, but when you paste the table it becomes an image. It isn't text anymore. (The exception is an AppleWorks table. It will be pasted as text, but without the cells.)
Your visitor may want to copy the text for further use. And they can perform a Find on the webpage.
Also, text is indexed by search engines. If your spreadsheet numbers have relevance for others, you will be found by those numbers, not by the picture.
As a nice consequence, you can copy your table back into your spreadsheet. Including all the decorations. The calculations are gone, but you have your numbers back in case you lost your spreadsheet.
Try it.
BTW. Besides iWork Numbers you can also use Pages and Keynote to create tables.
6 januari 2010 : I might as well show the difference between a HTML Table and an image.
The HTML Table created with TextEdit:
The Table as an image pasted into iWeb.
