Tables

     There are two ways to insert a table in a document. You can either:

·    Insert a table from another application as an OLE object.

·    Draw a table.

     To draw a table, you simply figure out how many columns you will need (this is important, as you cannot change this later), and type the following (with different numbers of pluses, depending on how many columns you need):

     (For one column)

     +-------+

     (For two columns)

     +-------+--------+

     And so on...

     Once you've typed this in, simply press Enter at the end of the line and it should automatically convert it to a table. Not happy with the column widths? Just click and drag the dividing borders until you're satisfied. To add a new row, position the keyboard cursor just to the right of the last cell and press Enter; there should now be another row.

     To move between cells, you can use the cursor, arrow keys or tab key.
