DrawingML Tables - Rows, Cells and Cell Content
A table is comprised of one or more rows, and a row contains one or more cells.
A table row is defined with the <a:tr> element.
The row element can contain a height attribute (h), as either EMUs or
as a number followed by a unit identifier. The row element contains one or more cell elements
(<a:tc>).
All content within a table is defined within the cell element. A cell can contain only text.
A cell may also have properties. (Note that a table may also have properties,
but a row does not have properties other than a height.) The permitted child elements of
<a:tc>
include <a:txBody> for text and
<a:tcPr> for cell properties.
A cell may also have the following attributes, which are discussed more fully at DrawingML - Tables - Structure.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| gridSpan | Specifies the number of columns that a merged cell spans. Used in combination with the hMerge attribute on other cells in order to specify the beginning cell of a horizontal merge |
