Some of the following uses of tables in Word might be considered workarounds, but they’re excellent and you may find that you already use these layouts. You do not have to use the borders; we have used them to demonstrate the layout.
Use tables to display data, as shown in Figure 12-5. This use is common in all types of documents.
Figure 12-5: Data Display
Use tables to layout headings on the left with text on the right, as shown in Figure 12-6. Some people particularly like this layout for manuals and for resumes. This layout is also commonly used to display graphics or photos on the left and text on the right.

Use tables to layout long, bulleted lists, as shown in Figure 12-7.

Use tables in headers and footers as displayed in
Figure 12-8. This is especially helpful when considering the layout below. The table forces the height of the line to be higher than the text. Without the table, the "Part 1" text would appear too low because it would align with the bottom of the manual title instead of the top of the manual title.
