 * When adding a table, there is the Table Properties option which has ‘General’
   and ‘Advanced’ tabs.
 * In the General tab there are options for cell spacing, cell padding, border etc
   which set the table attributes such as `<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5"
   border="1">`. Given these are not valid for HTML5, is there a way to remove/disable
   them from the interface so that users aren’t tempted?
 * many thanks

 * Sure, uncheck the `Show the advanced tabs in the table properties dialogs` option
   on the settings screen.This will also hide `Style`, `Border style`, `Border color`,`
   Background color`, etc.

 * That’s great – it works.
 * I feel foolish for not realising that this option referred to removing both of
   the tabs. I like that it results in a simpler properties box that just has width,
   height and alignment.
 * many thanks
