how to control tables in Dreamweaver MX

I all

I am not a complete new dude to web design, I do have some experience how ever compared to you guys am probably seen as new

I havnt touched web design for over a year and today trying to remember how to ride the dreamweaver bike.

I am usuing Dreamweaver MX and am stuck on tables. I find the tables are restricting me. How do I enable the tables to give me more freedom in the sense of:
  • Letting me freely move tables where I want
  • and letting me enter text any where in the table I want
Or is this not possible to do.

Re: how to control tables in Dreamweaver MX

With a bit of practice CSS can make it very easy, it takes a bit of getting used to but with CSS you will find it a lot more easier to manage and modify your design
