Creating Tables in Microsoft Word
When you want to make a listing of information neat and easy to read in your writing
piece, you can create a table. You can do this by going to the Table pull-down menu and
selecting Insert to Table, or you can simply click on the table icon on the standard toolbar and
choose your number of rows and columns. Once youve created your table, you can change the
width of the columns by dragging the vertical lines. You can also split, merge, and delete
columns and rows.

Add your name, date and class in a header!

In column one, type the first name of your friend or family member.
In column two type the last name of your friend or family member.
In the last column type the name of a hobby that the person has (i.e. sport played,
instrument played, collections, reading.)

10) Use font size 14Bold for your headings.
11) Add a title for your table by adding one more row and merge the cells in the row. Be sure
