"How to Insert a Table into the Word 2007 Document?"

There are three ways to insert a table in Word 2007 document:

1) Clicking the Table button creates a table with the number of columns and rows you select from the grid, with all the cells of equal size.

2) You can use the Insert Table dialog box, where you can specify the number of rows and columns as well as their sizes.

3) You can also create a table by drawing cells the size you want.

When table was created, you can then enter text, numbers, and graphics into the table's cells, which are the boxes at the intersections of a row and a column.

To Insert a Table (method 1)

• Click the Insert tab of the Ribbon.
• In the Table group, click the Table icon. Word displays a drop-down list.

• Drag the intended table columns and rows from the table grid. For example, 5 X 5 tables. The table will automatically insert into the document.

To Insert a Table (method 2)

• Click the Insert tab of the Ribbon.
• In the Table group, click the Table icon.
• From the drop-down list displayed, click the Insert Table command.

• From the Insert Table dialog box displayed, in the Table size section, specify the Number of columns and Number of rows of the table.
• Click OK.

As an alternative to using the convenient Insert Table command, you can use Word's draw a table feature.

To Draw a Table

• Click the Insert tab of the Ribbon.
• In the Table group, click the Table icon. Word displays a drop-down list.

• Click on Draw Table from the list of options. Word changes to Print Layout view (if you are not already in that view) and changes the mouse pointer so it looks like a pencil.
• Use the mouse pointer to define the outside borders of your table, much as you would draw in a drawing program.
• Use the pencil to draw the columns and rows into the table.
• Press Esc when you are done.
