tables, html and winword

[undyingfires]

I'm sorry if this isn't the best place to ask this but part of this question concerns tables on a web page. :(

I'm creating a winword template to be used by our field members that will be taken into an automated system to spit out web pages (in this case asp but I wasn't sure where to post this).

I've figured out how to put alt text on images, and the 'title' on links.
Next step, tables.

I need to be able to apply the 'summary' to the table tag..
I've looked and still searching atm for the solution but thought I'd ask here for advice from any MS-pros?

Is there a feature with MS that allows table attributes like this?

It's for accessibility issues. This topic among others. However, this being one of the bigger ones.

Thanks for any help. :)

Not sure what you mean by "summary", but you can use the title attribute on table tags. They work with IE5+ and NS6+, but not NS4 version browsers.

summary example


<table cellspacing=1 cellpadding=1 summary="This table contains information pertaining to.. yadda yadda">
<tr> ... ...
</tr>
</table>

I know I can use the 'title' for almost if not, everything which is a plus [using HTML]. I just need to know if there is a way to get under the user gui of WinWord and edit the properties of a table.

For example, you can 'Format Object' when you right-click on an image and one of the tabs is called, 'Web' and there you can type out an 'alt' for the image. Mind you, it doesn't work unless the image is disabled.... but point being, is there a way to insert the summary text into the actual 'code' of this table in WinWord [without 'viewing source'].

We are implementing a Content Management System soon and will be using WinWord for our client/flied to cut and paste. After the page is done in MSWord, it is sent to the CMS and spit out as an asp page. The template for the web page is already done and the word doc is taken by our new system and generated - ta-da-

However, it's really hard to say if our new system will even look at the alt of an image or even the summary tag at all from Word.. but I'm still just fiddling around. I'm waiting for our 'dummy' site to be built.


This appears to be slightly more confusing and I might just accept that it mostly likely can't be done.

Thanks for any help :thumbsup:
