How to Use Your Word Processor

Creating and Formatting Tables

Using your word processor or desktop publishing program, you can create and format tables using menu commands and your toolbar. In Microsoft Word, use one of the following techniques:

Menu Commands: Place your cursor at the point where you want to insert a table. Then choose the TABLE > INSERT TABLE command from the main menu.

The Toolbar: Click on the Table icon on the toolbar, hold down your left mouse button, and drag until you have selected a table with the rows and columns you desire.

Note: To format an existing table, display the Tables and Borders toolbar and work with the icons on the toolbar.
