# Table

In the Insert Database Columns dialog, select the Table option to insert the selected data into the document as a table. In the dialog, you can decide which database fields or columns are transferred, and how the text table is formatted.

## Table

In the Table area, use the arrow keys to select the columns of the database table that you want to apply to the text table.

### Database columns

Specifies the database columns to be inserted into the text table. All database table columns that have not been accepted in the Table column(s) list box are listed here. The entries are sorted alphabetically.

### Table column(s)

Lists all database columns to be inserted into the document. A column will be assigned to each corresponding entry in the table. The entry order in the Table column(s) list box determines the data order in the text table.

### >>

Moves all listed database fields into the Table column(s) list box. All fields listed in the Table column(s) list box are inserted into the document.

### >

Moves the selected database field into the Table column(s) list box. You can also double click an entry to move it to the Table column(s) list box. All fields listed in the Table column(s) list box are inserted into the document.

### <

Removes the selected database field from the Table column(s) list box The removed field is not inserted into the document.

### <<

Removes all database fields from the Table column(s) list box.

## Format

Specifies the format for inserting the database fields into the document.

### From database

Accepts the database formats.

### Select

Specifies a format from the list, if the format information of certain data fields is not accepted. The formats supplied here are only available for certain database fields, such as numeric or Boolean fields. If you select a database field in text format, you will not be able to select any format from the selection list, since the text format will be automatically maintained.

If the format you want is not listed, select "Other Formats..." and define the desired format in the Number Format dialog.

The number format assigned using the selection list always refers to the database field selected in the Database columns list box.

To insert the data into the document in the form of a table, the correct Table option must be active. You can then select a database field from the Table column(s) list box to define the formatting of the database field. The changes to the number formats will be applied to the last selection. It does not matter whether the database field was selected from the Database columns list box or from the Table column(s) list box.

### Insert table header

Specifies whether to insert a header line for the columns in the text table.

### Apply column name

Uses the field names of the database table as headings for each of the text table columns.

### Create row only

Inserts an empty heading line into the text table. Using the Create row only option, you can define headings in the document, which do not correspond to the database field names.

### Properties

Opens the Table Format Table Format dialog, which enables you to define the table properties such as borders, background, and column width.

### AutoFormat

Opens the AutoFormat AutoFormat dialog, in which you can select format styles that are immediately applied when inserting the table.
