Necessary
Microsoft Office Word software
Instructions
Step 1
To create a table, you need to create a new document or open an existing one. A new file is created automatically when the program starts. To do this, click the Start menu, expand the All Programs item and find the program shortcut in the Microsoft Office block. Also, the editor window can be launched through a shortcut located on the desktop or the application quick launch panel.
Step 2
In the main window of the program, start filling out a new document. If a white sheet does not appear in front of you and the title "Document 1" does not appear in the header, click the top menu "File" and select "New".
Step 3
To open a previously created and saved file, open the "File" menu and select the "Open" item. In the window that appears, specify the path to the file, select it and press the Enter key.
Step 4
In an open document, place the cursor where you want to start the table. In some cases, it is necessary to separate the text and the table. To do this, place the cursor at the end of the text and press the Enter key.
Step 5
On the standard toolbar, find the Add Table button and click it. If you do not move the mouse away from this button, you will see a kind of miniature page layout. Here you can set the approximate number of rows and columns for your future table.
Step 6
Move the cursor down and to the right to select the desired number of cells for the table. Left-click on the last of the selected cells. Fill in the blank fields in the created table. If you made a mistake with the number of columns or rows, you can always add or remove them.
Step 7
Use the "Table" top menu to add columns. Select the "Add" section, and then left-click on the "Columns to the right" row. Pay attention to the table, the number of columns has increased by one unit. To add more columns, use the same option several times.
