Step 1
Information entered into a Word document can be expressed both in text form and in the form of a table. The latter are often used to organize numeric and text data. They are also used to split text into multiple columns - columns.
Step 2
To insert a blank table into a Word document, use the Table, Insert, Table command. In the window that appears, you need to set the number of columns and rows and click the OK button. The created table will appear where the text cursor was
Step 3
The intersection of rows and columns is called a cell. All of them are indicated by thin solid lines. Any text will be entered in the cell where the text cursor is. To select table elements, for example, a column, the mouse pointer must be moved to the area not occupied by the text - it must take the form of a vertical oblique arrow. Then right-click this arrow. To deselect the selection, left-click inside the table or outside of it.
Step 4
One of the programs in the Microsoft Office suite, which is a whole spreadsheet calculator, is Excel. It is often used to create various tabular calculations.
Step 5
Each sheet of an Excel document is a grid that consists of columns and rows. Only one cell of the table sheet can be active. A bold box appears around it with an autocomplete marker. Even if you select several cells, one will remain white. The text you type from the keyboard will appear only in this cell.
Step 6
The easiest way to select a column is to left-click on the active cell, and without releasing the mouse button, move the cursor to the frame up / down / left / right.
Step 7
If you right-click in a column header, a vertical arrow and a selection across the entire column appear. Such selection can be transferred from column to column by left-clicking on the arrow at the top. To change the data in the selected column, make one of the cells active by clicking F2 on your keyboard.
