MAKING TABLES WITH WORD

byTed Peterson
.
There is a way to make a table with the "word" program on your computer.
Type any thing or insert your pictures first and then go down to the place that you want your table to start, and set your cursor there.
At this point go to the top tool bar and click on "table". A drop down menu will show and click on "draw table". Now a small tool bar will show where you left the cursor. Go over to the square that when you place the cursor on it will show "insert table". Click on it and a new drop down menu will show. On this menu it will ask you how many columns you want and how many rows you will need. You can change this any time you want. Click on it and a blank table will now show on your screen.
Fill in the blanks and you will have a table.
If you would like to add a new column, go the the column before the place that you would like to add a column and click on any row. At this point go to the top tool bar and click on "table". A new drop down menu will show up and click to add columns. It will say "add column to the right" click on it and a new column will be added to the right. You CANNOT add to the left.
To add a row, click on any row and go to "table" and click on it. Then go to "add row above or below". Click on the correct listing and a new row will be added to the table.
To delete any row or column click on the row or column you want to delete and then go to "table" and click on delete column or row. That column or row will then be deleted.
You can make any column wider or smaller by clicking any place on the table and then go to a new scale below the top tool bar and move the stops.
