Working with Tables
Table of Contents
Working with tablesWhat is a table? A table is information arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns. You can use a table to organise text or numerical data. You can format text in various ways in different parts of a table. When you first insert a table into a document, it appears as a simple grid, with black gridlines defining the rows and colums. The area where a row and column meet is called a cell.
Inserting a tableInsert << Table
Position the mouse pointer in the upper-left cell of the grid, then drag the pointer down and across the grid until you have highlighted the amount you require. For this exercise we will create two columns and five rows – the outline of a cell turns orange when you highlight it. NB: You are able to add or delete rows and columns at a later stage if needed.
When you have the table size correct - 2 x 5, an empty table, two columns by five rows, appears, with the insertion point in the upper-left cell. Example
When you are working in the table or the table is selected two new tabs appear on the ribbon, Design and Layout.
Entering Data in a TableYou can enter data in a table by moving the insertion point to a cell and typing. If the data takes up more than one line in the cell the text will automatically wrap to the next line. This increases the height of that cell and all the other cells in that row. To move to the next insertion point, you can press the Tab key on the keyboard or simply click on the desired cell. Example
This is what selected text looks like, to select the whole table use the Table move handle.

To format the text you can switch to the;
Sorting Information in a table

Inserting Rows and Columns in a tableYou will often need to modify a table by adding or deleting rows and columns.

Click in the top cell of the new column, and enter your new data, Use the arrow key to move the insertion point down through the column.
Inserting a row:This is similar to inserting a column. Select a row below the location where you want to insert a row.
In the Rows and Columns group << Insert Rows Above
To insert a row below select the Insert Below icon. Keyboard shortcut: click at the end of a row in the table where you want a row inserted and press enter.
