Creating Tables in Google Docs

When you want to make a listing of information neat and easy to read in your writing
piece, you can create a table. You can do this by going to Insert - Table. Then choose how many
rows and columns you need.. Once youve created your table, you can change the width of the
columns by dragging the vertical lines. You can also split, merge, and delete columns and rows.
