The 
Table Chart pane shows a seating chart, ordered by table. This can be very useful for displaying at the entrance to an event. Tables with no guests assigned are omitted. It is not possible to change the plan from this pane.
Use the Display drop-down list to change how guest/group names are displayed.
Use the By drop-down list to display a line per Guest or a line per Group.
Note If you set By to Group you can control how group member names are displayed using the Display group members as field in the Names tab of the 
Preferences window.
Use the Sort by drop-down list to change the way how guests/groups are ordered on each table.
You can also change the number of Columns in the chart and control the font and colours by clicking on the 
button.
Click on the 
button to show additional options.
You can optionally show the table, section, seat, notes, meal choice, special requirements and group. The meal choice and special requirements can be very useful for caterers.
Click on the Title or Footer button to add/edit a title or footer for this pane. The Chart Title/Footer window will be displayed. We would really appreciate a mention of www.perfecttableplan.com in the footer!
The order of the tables can be changed by clicking on the Table order button to display the 
Table Order window. Alternatively, you can change the order in the 
Schematic pane. Tables are laid out left to right and then top to bottom.
