Tables in Microsoft Word Processor - How to Use Tables in Microsoft Documents

Using tables is relatively easy. Once you have made one table and adjusted it a few times to your liking, you will find it is an easy task.

There are various reasons and ways to put a table in your documents. The first thing to learn is how to drop and drag a table in the document. You can also make your own measurements of how tall or wide you wish your boxes in the table to be.

To make it easy there is an icon at the top of the page in what is called a toolbar. The icon looks like a grid with a bar on it. You left click on it. You will see on the left the styles you can choose from. On the right you will see the number of rows and columns you can use.

The options are basic simple, modern, elegant, ledger. There are several different options to choose from depending on what you  want to use your table for. Do you want a calendar, a personal list, a chore list,

the uses for a table are endless.

Once your done this will drop a table in the document. If your need more or less space in the columns and rows, then you will go to format table and change the height, and or width of whatever you need to change. If you only want to  change one item then highlight the item by putting the pointer in front of the word, or box that you want to change and right click.. From there you will have many options.

You can delete a column, row, or box by using the same method of highlighting the area you want to change and choose the option. you want to put bullets or numbers in the table this can be easily done by clicking right and choosing the option.

If you decide that you want to darken up some of the boxes in the table you highlight it and right click and choose the borders options. You can also use the shading option to add more style to your table.

If you want to add a excel table to your document this will be pretty easy. Minimize your document. Highlight what your spreadsheet, and right click and copy. Minimize the spreadsheet, and then you will open the document again. Put the pointer where you want to drop the table right click and  choose paste special.

Now this is most options you can use with the table. If you need to do something different you can always experiment with different styles, and sizes until you get what you need.

Good Luck with your Word Processing.
