MICROSOFT WORD
INSERTING TABLES

I. OBJECTIVES:
1. To create Tables in different ways;
2. To insert and delete rows and columns;
3. To merge and split cells.

II. DISCUSSION:

Word's table feature gives you a wonderfully flexible way of aligning text in a grid of rows and columns. You enter text
into the individual boxes in the grid, which are referred to as cells. The text in each cell wraps independently of the text
in neighboring cells. This makes it possible to format and edit documents in which certain blocks of text have to be
aligned alongside one another.

Word gives you two methods for creating tables. With the standard method, you tell Word to create a table with a
particular number of rows and columns, and then revise it from there. With the second method, you "draw" the table with
your mouse. The first method is a little faster and you have the option of setting AutoFit options, but the second is better
for creating a more complex table.
