Creating Tables in Microsoft Word


When you want to make a listing of information neat and easy to read in your writing
piece, you can create a table. You can do this by going to the Table pull-down menu and
selecting Insert to Table, or you can simply click on the table icon on the standard toolbar and
choose your number of rows and columns. Once youve created your table, you can change the
width of the columns by dragging the vertical lines. You can also split, merge, and delete
columns and rows.
