Insert or create a table

In Microsoft Office Word 2007, you can insert a table by choosing from a selection of pre-formatted tables — complete with sample data — or by selecting the number of rows and columns that you want. You can insert a table into a document, or you can insert one table into another table to create a more complex table.

Use table templates

You can use table templates to insert a table that is based on a gallery of preformatted tables. Table templates contain sample data to help you visualize what the table will look like when you add your data.1.Click where you want to insert a table. 2.On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table, point to Quick Tables, and then click the template that you want. 3.Replace the data in the template with the data that you want.

Creating Tables

Convert text to a table

1. Insert separator characters — such as commas or tabs — to indicate where you want to divide the text into columns. Use paragraph marks to indicate where you want to begin a new row.

2. For example, in a list with two words on a line, insert a comma or a tab after the first word to create a two-column table.

3. Select the text that you want to convert. 4. On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click

Table, and then click Convert Text to Table. 5. In the Convert Text to Table dialog box, under

Separate text at, click the option for the separator character that you used in the text.

6. Select any other options that you want.

Place a table inside another table

Tables that are inside other tables are called nested tables and are often used to design Web pages. If you think of a Web page as one big table that holds other tables — with text and graphics inside different table cells — you can lay out the different parts of your page.You can insert a nested table by clicking in a cell and then using any of the methods to insert a table, or you can draw a table where you want the nested table. NOTE You can also copy and paste an existing table into another table.

Format a table

After you create a table, Microsoft Office Word 2007 offers you many ways to format that table. If you decide to use Table Styles, you can format your table all at once, and even see a preview of what your table will look like formatted in a particular style before you actually apply the style.

You can create a custom look for tables by splitting or merging cells, adding or deleting columns or rows, or adding borders. If you're working with a long table, you can repeat the table headings on each page on which the table appears. To prevent awkward page breaks that disrupt the flow of your table, you can also specify just how and where the table should break across pages.

Use Table Styles to format an entire table

After you create a table, you can format the entire table by using Table Styles. By resting your pointer over each of the preformatted table styles, you can preview what the table will look like.

Track changes while you edit

You can easily make and view tracked changes and comments while you work in a document. By default, Microsoft Office Word 2007 uses balloons to display deletions, comments, formatting changes, and content that has moved. If you want to see all of your changes inline, you can change settings so that tracked changes and comments display the way you want.

Balloons show formatting changes, comments, and deletions.

NOTE To prevent you from inadvertently distributing documents that contain tracked changes and comments, Word displays tracked changes and comments by default. Final Showing Markup is the default option in the Display for Review box.
