Creating a template for the Classic mode using tables
There are times when you require a little more flexibility in designing your email than Campaign Designer offers. Tables are the foundation for building any template, so here is a quick guide that will get you on your way to building fantastic looking template in our Classic Editor:
The first thing you should do when building in Classic is click the ‘toggle table visibility’ button. This toggles the guidelines of tables on and off so that you can view the structure of your campaign.
To insert a new table, place your cursor where you wish to insert your table into your campaign and click the insert table button. Specify the number of rows and columns you need in your table. Cellpadding and Cellspacing should be set to ’0′ unless you require them.
Choose your alignment, and set the width. Alternatively, you can leave the width specified to 100%, and later change this by going back into the table options using the modify table tool. 
When you are ready to insert images into your table, place your cursor where you want to insert your image and insert in the normal way, paying particular attention to the width/height ratio of your images.
Good practice is to make your table cells the same width as the images within them, to do this click the arrow next to the ‘Modify table’ button, and select ‘Table cell properties’.
Once your images have been inserted, you may find that you have some unwanted line-breaks either above or below your image inside the table. A combination of trial and error with the delete and backspace keys and strategic placement of the cursor will usually take care of this.
If you wish to add text underneath your images, such as a caption or article, click on the image and from the arrow next to the ‘Modify table’ button click ‘Insert row after’. If you wish to add text above, click ‘Insert row before’.
The ‘Modify table’ tool allows you to change certain aspects of the overall table design such as background colour, border and width of your table. You can amend the colour of individual cells, vertical alignment of text and specify dimensions of individual cells by clicking the drop down arrow next to the ‘Modify table’ button and selecting the ‘Table cell properties’ tool when clicked in the appropriate section.
