# Editing a Table Element

> Edit table element properties in the Element Properties window: position and size, line width, style and color, cell spacing, header row, and linked field.

For each **table** element the following properties can be specified: the coordinates and size of the element; width, style, and color of the lines; cell spacing; whether the first row contains column names; a linked field.

You can change the properties of the **table** element in the Element Properties window located in the bottom right corner of the [main window](/flexi-capture/form-designer/main-program-window). The Element Properties window is displayed only if **View →** Element Properties is selected on the main menu.

## Element

**Type** — Table.

**ID** — A unique identifier of the element.

## Position and size

**Left** — Sets the distance between the left edge of the form and the element.

**Top** — Sets the distance between the top edge of the form and the element.

**Width** — Sets the width of the **table** element.

**Height** — Sets the height of the **table** element.

## Line

**Width** — Sets the line separator width (ranging from 0.1 mm to 2.5 mm).

**Style** — Sets the style of the line:

* Dashes
* Solid
* Dots

**Color** — Selects a line separator color from the drop-down list for dropout forms or from the palette for color forms.

## Background

**Same as form background** — Makes the background of the **table** the same color as the background of the form.

**Other** — Selects a **table** background color from the drop-down list for dropout forms or from the palette for color forms.

<Info>
  The range of available colors depends on the type of your form (black and white or color).
</Info>

## Table

**Cell spacing** — Sets the distance between table cells.

**Use first row as header** — If this option is selected, the first row will contain the names of the columns.

## Linked field

**Linked field** — By default, whenever you create an element on your form, a field is created within the [document structure](/flexi-capture/form-designer/document-structure) to which this element is linked. To link your element to another field of the same type, select the name of the field from the drop-down list.
