I want to add a contact list on one of my pages. I do not use code. The table would be about 12 rows by 3 columns. Can you do this using VSD? If not, how would I accomplish this?

Yeah, but it sure would be nice if that was done visually. Coffee Cup is supposed to be the "easy" way of creating websites - that's way too much to create a table.

That's a dead link for me. Hopefully that's temporary cuz we can't be losing our Bruzer Help system hehe.

Another workaround which does not involve coding, would be to create the table with it's content in Word, Excel or so, format it the way you want it, copy it into a picture editing app and save it as a picture. Then insert the picture into VSD. It's a bit involved though, especially if you have to make changes to the contact list later. But I think it is the only way if you want to avoid any coding.

In VSD you are supposed to manage without tables. There are vertical and horizontal guides, and you can use as many of them as needed to make it look like a table. There is also a grid overlay that can be used for positioning purposes.

This is a good idea, but one downfall is the file size. I think the file size for something that large would be huge.

You mean the solution with creating an image? Yeah, it depends on the numbers of contacts on the list, of course, and what kind of formatting it is given. I think I would try the other solution, though.
