Editing Solidworks Design Tables

[m56]

I like to edit my design tables in a seperate window. I'm unaware of a way to "pre-define" the boundaries of my design table when editing in a seperate window. By pre-difine, I mean to layout the borders that will end up in a Solidworks drawing when using 'Insert, design table'.
Is this even possible?

Thanks for any replies

Go to tools options and check "edit design table in separate window".

It will now open Excel (The Program itself) and the DT, instead of having it open the DT in SW.

I hope that helps, Scott Baugh, CSWP

Scott,
Maybe I wasn't clear enough on this, I'm already editing my design tables in a seperate window. What I'm looking for is a way to define the borders of that table, so when i insert it into a drawing, the "outer border" of the design table is what I want, not some random rectange, that includes many blank cells and rows and columns I don't want.

For example, make a part, create a design table, edit the design table in a seperate window (add columns, rows, etc...), insert the design table into a drawing.
you'll see the borders are incorrect.
