Inserting Tables

Tables are a great way to organize information, and even define a quick and dirty page layout (this is an especially engrained habit if you develop web pages). Inserting tables is easy.

To insert a table:

Place your cursor where you want the table to appear.
Select Table > Insert Table.
The Insert Table dialog appears.
Set the number of columns you want in the Number of columns field.
Set the number of rows you want in the Number of rows field.
Set the width of all of the columns in the Column width field.

Tip

I usually leave this set to Auto, which sets the column width based on the page width divided by the number of columns. This creates a table that spans the entire space between the left and right margins with columns of equal width.
Click OK.
Word creates the table.
