1. Working with Tables

Introduction
A table is a grid of cells arranged in rows and columns. Tables can be customized and are useful
for various tasks such as presenting text information and numerical data.
In this lesson, you will learn how to convert text to a table, apply table styles, format tables, and
create blank tables.
Inserting and Modifying Tables
To Convert Existing Text to a Table:
 Select the text you wish to convert.
 Select the Insert tab.
 Click the Table command.
 Select Convert Text to Table from the menu. A dialog box appears.
 Choose one of the options in the Separate text at: section. This is how Word knows what
text to put in each column.
 Click OK. The text appears in a table.
To Add a Row Above an Existing Row:

 Place the insertion point in a row below the location you wish to add a row.
 Right-click the mouse. A menu appears.

 Select Insert Insert Rows Above.
A new row appears above the insertion point.
You can also add rows below the insertion point. Follow the same steps, but select Insert Rows
Below from the menu.
To Add a Column:
 Place the insertion point in a column adjacent to the location you wish the new column to
appear.
 Right-click the mouse. A menu appears.
 Select Insert Insert Columns to the Left or Insert Columns to the Right. A new column
appears.
To Delete a Row or Column:

 Select the row or column.
 Right-click your mouse and a menu appears.

You can modify which table styles are displayed. In the Table Styles Options you can select and

banded rows will appear in the Tables Styles section.
Want to have a little more creative freedom when it comes to formatting your tables? You can
manually change the table border or shading, change line weight, or erase part of the table.
To Insert a Blank Table:
 Place your insertion point in the document where you want the table to appear.
 Click the Table command.
 Drag your mouse over the diagram squares to select the number of columns and rows in
the table.
 Left-click your mouse and the table appears in the document.
 Enter text into the table.
Modify a Table Using the Layout Tab

When you select a table in Word 2007, Design and Layout tabs appear under Table Tools on the
Ribbon. Using commands on the Layout tab you can make a variety of modifications to the table
such as:
 Adding and deleting columns,
 Adding and deleting rows,
 Changing the cell size,
 Aligning cell text,
 Changing text direction,
 Merging and splitting cells,
 And More.

3. Columns and Ordering
Introduction
Two useful formatting features in Word are the columns and ordering commands. Columns are
used in many types of documents, but are most commonly used in newspapers, magazines,
academic journals, and newsletters. Ordering is the process of layering two or more shapes so
that they appear in a certain way. For example, if you have two shapes that overlap and want one
shape to appear on top, you will have to order the shapes. In this lesson you will learn how to
insert columns into a document and order an image and a shape.
Inserting Columns and Ordering Objects
To Add Columns to a Document:
 Select the text you want to format.
 Select the Page Layout tab.
 Left-click the Columns command.
 Select the number of columns you would like to insert.
Click the Show/Hide command on the Home tab to display the paragraph marks and breaks.
The Format Painter command allows you to easily format text to appear like other text in your
document. Select the text that is formatted the way you want, click the Format Painter command
on the Home tab, and then select the text you want to change. The new text now appears
modified.
To Change the Order of Objects:
 Right-click the object you wish to move. In this example, click the shape.
 In the menu that appears, select Order.
 Select a menu option that will arrange the item in the desired way. In this example, select
Send Behind Text.
 The text and image are now displayed layered on top of the shape.
4. Working with Headers and Footers

Introduction
You can make your document look professional and polished by utilizing the header and footer
sections. The header is a section of the document that appears in the top margin, while
the footer is a section of the document that appears in thebottom margin. Headers and footers
generally contain information such as page number, date, document name, etc.
In this lesson, you will learn how to insert built-in and blank headers and footers.

options you can use.
