Creating Tables In Word 2007 and 2010 and Adding Content to the Table
1. Creating Tables:
Tables are made up of rows and columns
Columns span the document vertically (top to bottom). Rows span the
document horizontally (left to right across the page). When a row and
Add tables to a document with the Insert menu.
Where a column and row intersect, a cell is formed.
Insert a Table
Place the focus at the location you'd like to insert a table and open the
Insert Ribbon (ALT-N). Within the ribbon, access the "Table" option (T).
DOWN ARROW to the "Insert Table" option (I) and press ENTER. The Insert
Table dialog opens through which the properties for your table can be
configured. The options include:
· Number of Columns - Input the number of columns you'd like in the
table
· Number of Rows - Input the number of rows you'd like in the table
Auto-fit Behavior - Three radio buttons determine the auto-fit of text
within the table. Use UP AND DOWN ARROW to select an option.
· Fixed Column Width - Select auto or a dimension in inches from
within the associated spin box
· Auto-fit to Contents - The table cells are auto-fit to the contents
of the cells
· Auto-fit to Window - The table is auto-fit to the size of the
window
Remember dimensions for new tables - The settings configured within the
dialog are the default for future tables.
2. Adding Content to a Table:
After creating a table, focus is placed in the first cell of the table.
Move focus among the cells in a row with TAB or shift plus tab. Press UP
AND DOWN ARROW to navigate among the cells in a column.
Any type of content can be added to table cells. You can insert text, form
controls, pictures, additional tables, hyperlinks, etc. anything that can be
input into Microsoft Word can be input into a table cell.
When adding data to table cells, be cautious with navigation. When you
reach the last cell of a table, pressing TAB creates a new row and place
focus in the first cell of that row. Therefore, if you don't wish
additional rows added to the table, do not tab again once reaching the last
column/row of your table. This would be the bottom right cell of the table.
