The Power of
Tables in
Microsoft Word
Tables are the best way to keep a Word
document organized and aligned. Tables would be used in a Word document
if you have a grid of information that you need to show. Tables are much
easier than trying to use margins and tabs to keep everything aligned.
Below is an example of how a table might be used in a Word document.
The table can be placed anywhere in the
document that you like and wrap text around it if you wish. With tables
you can format the individual cells as shown above to highlight the
header row for a great looking table.
How to Insert a Table in Microsoft
Word 2010 & 2007: 1. Click where
you want to insert a table.
2. On the Insert tab,
in the Tables group, click Table,
and then, under Insert Table, drag to select the
number of rows and columns that you want. See below
For more details on using Word see this Microsoft Office page here.
For troubleshooting in
older versions of Word, see the built-in Detect & Repair utility
located on the Word Help
menu. It may require that you insert your MS Office CD while in progress so
have it handy. It will search the current office program and check for
inconsistencies or other issues and correct the problem if it is with the
software. So if your Word is hanging up or doing something out of the
ordinary and you have already checked for viruses, Word may have become
corrupt and this may take care of it for you.
