Working with tables can cause some difficulties for a novice user: how to create a table, how to insert text into it? Since Microsoft Office Word and Excel programs are most often used for design, these issues will be considered on their example.
Instructions
Step 1
In the Microsoft Office Word editor, you can create a table using the tools provided for this. Run the program and open the "Insert" tab. On the toolbar, find the Tables block and select the Draw Table tool or use the layout by specifying the required number of rows and columns.
Step 2
To fill a table cell with text, place the cursor in it and enter the text in the usual way. If you need to insert a piece of text from another document, select it and press the Ctrl and C keys. Return to the document with the table, position the cursor in the desired cell and press the Shift and Insert keys or Ctrl and V.
Step 3
Alternative methods: right-click in the required cell and select the "Paste" command from the drop-down menu. Or click on the "Home" tab the "Paste" thumbnail button with the folder image in the "Clipboard" block. Adjust the height and width of the cell.
Step 4
In Microsoft Office Excel, the sheet is already a table, but you can also use the tools from the Insert tab. The text itself can be inserted into a table cell according to the same principle as in Word: either using hotkeys or using the mouse. The only thing to consider is the correct parameters of the cell itself.
Step 5
Open the "Home" tab and click on the "Format" thumbnail button in the "Cells" block on the toolbar. Alternatively, right-click in the text cell and select Format Cells from the context menu. A new dialog box will open.
Step 6
Make the "Number" tab active and select the "Text" item in the "Number formats" group using the left mouse button. Go to the Alignment tab and in the Display group, set a marker in the Wrap by Word and AutoFit boxes. Click the OK button for the new settings to take effect.
