First open a Word document. Click on the "INSERT" tab followed by the "TABLE" button. Select the size of the tabe you want from the drop down menu. If you do not select enough cells or too many cells, you can add/remove them later. For this example, I am selecting a 3x5 table (3 columns by 5 rows).
**NOTE: Each little box on the drop down menu equals one cell.
Your table will appear in the body of the document. Enter your information into the table. The cells will expand with the text you enter.
Simple is nice...but if you would like to jazz your table up do the following. Click on anywhere on the table. You will notice at the top of the tool bar, new tabs appear called "TABLE TOOLS". Locate and click on the "DESIGN" tab. You will notice a row of colorful tables. To the right of them, notice the up/down scroll arrows and the arrow with a "-" over it. The is the "MORE" button. Click on it.
A drop down menu will appear with a lot more colorful tables. Each row is a different design. Clicking on one of these will automatically format your table to match it. You can do this over and over again...you will not lose any of the information in the table. For this example, I am selecting the Medium Shading 2 - Accent 1 design.
Presto chango....you have a beautiful, professional table added to your document!
