TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Create a Complex Word Table
You can "draw" complex tables into your document by
using the handy Table and Borders button on the Standard toolbar.
Basically, you draw the table first and then fill in the rows and
columns later.
To put a table in the middle of your document, follow these
steps:
1. Click the Tables and Borders button (it looks like a
square, divided into fourths, with a yellow pencil).
If you weren't previously in Print Layout view, Microsoft
Word switches you there automatically. (You can't place
tables while in Normal view.)
2. Ensure that the Draw Table button is "on" in
the Tables and Borders palette.
The Draw Table button should be active (looking like it's
selected). If the Draw Table button isn't on, click it. The
mouse pointer changes to a pencil, referred to as the pencil
pointer.
3. Drag the mouse to "draw" the table's outline
in your document.
Start in the upper-left corner of where you envision your
table and drag to the lower-right corner, which tells Word
where to put your table. You see an outline of the table as
you drag down and to the right. Don't worry about making the
table the right size; you can resize it later.
4. Use the pencil pointer to draw rows and columns.
To draw a row, drag the pencil pointer from the left side to
the right side of the table. To draw a column, drag the
pencil pointer from the top to the bottom of the table.
As you drag the pencil pointer, a dashed line appears,
showing you where the new row or column will be split. Also
notice that you can split columns or rows into more cells
simply by dragging the pencil pointer inside a cell and not
across the entire table.
5. Click the Draw Table button when you're done creating
the table's rows and columns.
This step turns off table-creating mode and switches you
back to normal editing mode. Now you can fill the text into
your table or modify the table or whatever.
