How to create a table in word:


Tables organize text into rows and columns, which can make the text easy to type, edit, and format while spacing it correctly in your document. Tables
organize text into cells, where a cell is the intersection of a row and a column.

Word provides four ways to create a table:

 Click the Insert tab, click the Table icon, and then highlight the number of rows and columns for your table (up to a maximum of eight rows and ten
columns).
 Use the Insert Table dialog box.
 Draw the size and position of the table with the mouse.
 Convert existing text (divided by a delimiter character such as a tab or a comma).

Creating a table by highlighting rows and columns in Word

Creating a table by highlighting rows and columns can be fast, but it limits the size of your table to a maximum of eight rows and ten columns. To create a
table by highlighting rows and columns, follow these steps:

 Click the Insert tab.


 Move the cursor where you want to insert a table in your document.
 Click the Table icon.
 A pull-down menu appears.
 Move the mouse pointer to highlight the number of rows and columns you want to create for your table.

When you highlight rows and columns, Word displays your table directly in your document so you can see exactly what your table will look like.

 Click the left mouse button when you’re happy with the size of your table.
