Remarks

This class can be used to create tables. A table must contain at least one Column and one Row with at least one Cell in that Row. Formatting of each cell in the table is done in a hierarchical manner in that a Cell's formatting take precedent over a Row's formatting which in term takes precedent over a Table's formatting . The column object contains no formatting information. Using the Tables GetOverflowColumns and GetOverflowRows methods you can allow your table to easily flow onto other pages. See the Tables topic for more on tables.

Example

The following example will display a simple table on the page.
