If you know your table is not going to be uniform (regularly sized columns and rows), you can "draw" a table. If you don't want this to happen, you can select "Fixed column width" and set a fixed value. A table is automatically entered into your document.īy default, the column width will adjust automatically to fit the text and objects you insert into a cell. Select your preferences in the AutoFit behavior section and then click OK. In this example, there are going to be 5 columns, and 2 rows. It looks like this.įrom here you can select the number of rows and columns. Now go back to the Insert tab, click the Insert Table tool, and select "Insert Table" instead of dragging your mouse over the boxes (which really represent cells, as we learned a second ago.)Ī dialogue launches in the center of your screen. Once again, we're going to move the cursor to the point in the document where we want the table to appear. So now that we've identified the parts of a table, let's take a look at the other ways in which we can add them. For instance, in our example Row 1, Column 2 might be expressed as 1b. In a program such as Excel, the rows are usually expressed in numbers while the columns are expressed in letters. In this example, the columns are numbered and the middle column (2.) is highlighted. In the example below, the rows are numbered from one to three and the 1 st row is highlighted.Ĭolumns go from left to right.
So let's identify the parts.Įach box is called a "Cell." There are 9 cells in the example above. To insert this simple table, click the mouse. See where it says "3x3 Table"? Cool, huh? And convenient.
We know that, without having to count each box, because Word tells us with the text right above the boxes. Here's an example of a 3 X 3 table using Insert Table:
