Doing your (nested) tables

This blog is for Eric, and anyone else interested how I made the “Selecting Final Images – “ blogs, using Microsoft’s Windows Live Writer.

First of all I started with the main table:

From the toolbar, select the insert table option:

Insert table

From the option box select the width as 600 (or whatever you wish) and the number of rows as 10 and columns as 2:

 main table

This created the table for the images and the reasons why I chose them, there are ten rows, two columns, but note that the “Show table border” option is not clicked.  For clarity I have selected this option for this tutorial.

Once you have the table, insert and resize the image and drag the column width over to the left, to allow for the text:

Then, below the image add the name of the subject, and leave two line spaces below it for the table:

With the cursor on the bottom line of the left hand table cell, below the image, select ‘Insert Table’ from the tool bar again, but with these options:

Nested Table

With this nested table (a table within a table) you can enter the shutter speed, aperture, etc

Now you have got the image and exposure details in the tables, you can enter the text into the right hand cell, as to why you chose that photograph.

Hope this helps.
