Information can be presented in a logical and orderly manner by using tables, which are organized by rows and columns. A cell is the intersection of the row and column. The user can also insert rows and columns once the table is created. When a table is first created, the columns are of equal width. You can change the size of the columns as you see fit, and you can autofit the contents in a column to make the table look attractive and professional. Text that has already been typed can be converted to a table. Commas and tabs must be used within the paragraphs to signal Word to create a CS 1010, Computer Essentials 1 column (Gaskin, Geoghan, Graviett, & Vargas, 2017). The next command is the Insert command, then click UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Table, and then click convert Text to Table. The number of columns you want Title needs to be confirmed in the convert text to table dialog box. You need to also indicate the delimiter character used and then click OK. The delimiter character would be a tab or paragraph mark for instance. A table can also be converted to regular text. You should choose which text character to use to separate the columns. On the table tools Layout tab, in the data group, click Convert to Text. You should use Word’s formatting tools to make the tables easy to read and attractive. There are many types of formatting that can be added to the table, including “changing the row height and the column width, removing or adding borders, increasing or decreasing the paragraph or line spacing, and enhancing the text” (Gaskin et al., 2017, p. 546). The best way to change the column widths is by starting on the left side of the table. This is especially true with tables with more than three columns. Word 2016 can also calculate the best column widths for you. In order to do this, select Table, and then on the Layout tab, choose the cell size group, and then click the Autofit button and click Autofit Contents (Gaskin et al., 2017). Borders can also be removed from a table. Once you have removed the borders, nonprinting guidelines can still be viewed. This shows the cell boundaries of a table whenever the table does not have borders applied. The cell margins can be configured. The default cell margins are 0” for top and 0.08” for left and right. Select the table when wanting to change the cell margins, and then simply click Properties in the Layout tab. “In the table properties dialog box, click the cell tab, and then click the options button. In the cell options dialog box, clear the same as the whole table check box, and then set the desired margins” (Gaskin et al., 2017, p. 552). Data can also be sorted in a table. Click anywhere in the table, and then click on the table tools Layout tab, and click Sort. To insert a table in a Word document, place the cursor where you want to insert the table. Click on Insert on the ribbon tab and then click on Table. In the tables groups, hover over the boxes to get the number of rows and columns you want to insert into the table. You can also use the Insert Table command and type in the number of columns and rows needed. To get a custom design for your table, click on Design, and choose one.
