To insert a table in the text of a Section:

  1. Click Insert menu | Tags

  2. Select Table

or select button on the Tags Bar

 

The Editor will insert the TBL tags and THD  tags at the cursor location.

 

To control the position of your table you can insert TBL tags within TXT, LST and ITM tags.

 

image\arrow.gif There are column limits on tables. If the table is contained within a Note, the table cannot exceed Column 68. Elsewhere in the Section, a table can be formatted to column 75.

 

The correct format of a table in a Section is:

 

<TBL><THD>

  <HL1>REQUIREMENT</HL1> <HL1>TEST METHOD</HL1>

</THD>

  Specific gravity and absorption <RID>ASTM C 128</RID>

  of fine aggregate

 

  Specific gravity and absorption <RID>ASTM C 127</RID>

  of coarse aggregate

</TBL>

 

 

Font and formatting tags are: underline <HL1>, italics <HL2>,  bold <HL3>, and centering <HL4>.

 

Tables and Notes

 

A Note can contain a table as long as it does not go beyond column 68.

Neither TBL nor NPR tags should not be placed around tables within Notes.

 

 

Check your Section with tags off after you complete editing to make sure the formatting looks correct.  If it doesn’t, then  you may have an incorrect or missing tag, an extra space(s), or paragraph return somewhere. Also, save the document often to check validation or simply select the SI Editors Validate button .
