Table is a useful feature to organize contents in a web page. Table can be dividing in to number of rows and columns to form cells. It is possible to insert any number of tables inside a table.

Steps:

Open a new html document using dreamweaver. Select the tab named insert => table => insert table. Fill up the values at the pop up window as per your requirements. Enter the number of rows and columns that you want. If you want a solid border to the table, then give some thickness value (minimum thickness should be 1px).

Add rows and columns:
You can add any number of rows and columns to the existing tables. To add a row, place the cursor at where you want the row, go to insert => Table Objects => Insert Row above or below and enter the number of rows you want.
Repeat the same procedure with insert => Table Objects => Insert Column to the Right or to the Left for inserting columns.

Delete rows and columns:
Unwanted rows or columns can be deleted from the table. Place the cursor at the Row or Column which has to delete and press shortcut key Ctrl + Shift + M to delete a row or Ctrl + Shift +- to delete a column.

Add a table inside another table:
Place the cursor inside a table to which you want to insert additional tables, then press Ctrl + Alt + T and follow the same procedure for creating a single table.

Table width:
It is possible to give the table width in two ways. One is by giving the table width as a percentage and another by giving the width as a fixed value.
For example, if you give the width as 100%, then the table width would adjust to fit with the monitor width. Instead by giving a fixed value, the table width would be limited to that fixed value irrespective of the monitor size.
