Give Order and Style to Your Information
Templates allow you to give a consistent style to your communications, but sometimes you need something more: organizing information clearly. That's where tables come into play. They're easy to create, adapt to your needs, and with a bit of formatting, they can make the difference between a plain message and a professional one.
Benefits of Using Tables
Clarity: information is displayed at a glance.
Professionalism: they convey order and attention to detail.
Efficiency: they prevent misunderstandings and reduce customer questions.
Versatility: they apply to different types of templates (confirmations, reminders, summaries).
Create a Table from Scratch
Click on the table icon.
Specify the number of rows and columns you need.
For more precise measurements, open "Table Properties" and adjust:
Width and height.
Cell spacing.
Overall alignment.
Style with Colors and Borders
Color helps highlight important information. To apply colors or borders to a cell:
Right-click on the cell.
Select Cell → Cell Properties.
In the "Advanced" tab, define the border or background colors.
Helpful Tip
Use soft colors in the background and apply a defined contrast on the borders. This way, the table will be readable without being overwhelming.
Merge or Split Cells
Sometimes it's necessary for a cell to take up more space or to split it into several. To do this, follow these steps:
Merge cells: select two or more, right-click and choose Cell → Merge Cells.
Split cells: select a cell, right-click and choose Cell → Split Cells.
Best Practices
Keep tables simple and readable; don't overuse rows and columns.
Use clear titles in the first row (example: "Service", "Price").
Avoid long paragraphs within cells.
Use soft background colors and borders with good contrast.
Always check the display on mobile devices.
Tables are a simple yet powerful tool for structuring information in your templates. Using them correctly allows you to communicate precisely, give a professional style to your messages, and improve the experience for customers and owners.
Feel free to try different configurations until you find the balance between clarity and design.
