    Hi mlk0125,

    please have a look at this thread (http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=37021) and especially Gary's link in post 3 for a tutorial.

    Alternative method for table creation:
    • Create a cell (a rectangle) of whatever size and formatting. Insert a text string placeholder.
    • Format for alignment.
    • Group parent cell/rectangle with child text.
    • Duplicate as required, using object corner snapping (depending on your data requirements).
    • Group rows and/or columns, as required.
    • Edit strings as required.
    • Elongate/shorten parent cells/rectangles, as required.
    Simple.

    How does this relate to WD, in simple Xara WD language.
    Perhaps you could attach a sample .web file

    But in in an HML table file, you can populate with dynamic test from the website, but with that particular table you have to manually enter the 'Text'..for instance if I wanted to insert a Table and populate the table with external file you couldn't. Or am I wrong?

    Correct. XWD is NOT a Dynamic page creation tool. One problem which will come up a lot is XWD is such a great tool in one respect that many will seek to integrate it with dynamic content, javascript libraries, PHP etc. They may find it is more work than it is worth.
    This, I believe, is why Xara was sure to point out that for an advanced designer, XWD is more of a rapid prototyping tool.

    @Scotty:
    That's right, Curtis and Gary are explaining 'table' as a set of data arranged in rows and columns. These are graphically created using WD's drawing and text tools.

    What you are talking about is a HTML element ( <table> ) which indicates structure in an HTML document and a way of hierarchically arranging content.

    WD doesn't support this kind of HTML.
