Click the Insert Table button on the Standard toolbar and select the number of rows and columns you want the table to have (for example, 4x4).
The table is inserted at the location of your cursor.
Click in the first cell of the table and type the text you want placed there; press the Tab and up- and down-arrow keys to move through the table to add more text.
INTRODUCTION
Instead of creating long lists of information and trying to cross-reference these lists, you can simply add a table to your document. You can use tables to organize information and create side-by-side columns of text for organizing and presenting data in an easy-to-read manner.
TIP
Pressing Enter
When you press Enter in a Word table, you don't move down a cell (as in Excel); you wrap to the next line within the cell. To move from cell to cell, press Tab or the up- and down-arrow keys instead.
TIP
Altering Page Margins Before You Begin
You save a lot of time if you set your page margins before you insert a table. Otherwise, you have to select all the tables and alter the margins afterward, which can be tricky.
