To add a table to your narrative, we strongly recommend you create it using the table icon in the portal. When you create the table, this ensures it is Section 508 compliant. It is not recommended to paste tables from Microsoft Word or Excel that contain merged cells, because they are not Section 508 compliant.
You may choose to use an image of your table instead of creating the table. If you choose to upload the table as an image, follow the steps in the previous job aid, Adding Images.
If you prefer to create the table, follow the steps below.
- Open the narrative where you want to add a table.
- Select the ‘Edit’ button.
- In the content field under ‘Enter Narrative (*required)’ place the cursor where you want your table.
- In the editing ribbon above the content field, select the table icon.
- In the ‘Table Properties’ box that pops up, select the number of rows, columns, and header choices, and enter caption text.
- Select ‘OK’ to add your table to the content area.
- Enter data into the table.
- To save your narrative with the table, select the ‘Save’ button.
