How to enable the "Use Predefined Table Format" setting when you use a Windows SharePoint Services template in SharePoint Server 2007
On This Page
INTRODUCTION
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes an advanced Rich Text Editor that supports predefined table formats. The Rich Text Editor in SharePoint Server 2007 reads the predefined table formats from cascading style sheets that are linked to the page. However, the Rich Text Editor in Windows SharePoint Services cannot read the predefined table formats from cascading style sheets. Therefore, the Rich Text Editor in Windows SharePoint Services does not support predefined table formats.
In SharePoint Server 2007, the
Use Predefined Table Format setting may not be available when you use the Rich Text Editor feature to edit a Web Part. This behavior occurs when you use a Windows SharePoint Services template to create the site. This article describes how to enable the
Use Predefined Table Format setting when you use a Windows SharePoint Services template to create a site in SharePoint Server 2007.
