Tables created in Word are often used for traditional purposes, but
they can also have many non-traditional uses.
Learning some basics regarding tables will allow you to create
imaginative applications.

The Modules found later in this unit will provide detailed
instructions on how to use many special table features.
Following is a brief introduction to some of the features that can be
applied to tables.

Tables can be created by three methods in Word – insert a table, draw a table, or convert text to a
table. The most common method is to insert a table, either from the
Table drop-down menu
or from the shortcut icon on the Standard Toolbar.

Tables contain rows (horizontal) and columns (vertical). The
intersection of the row and column creates the cell
where information (text, pictures, etc.) can be inserted.

The table can even take on a non-chart appearance by hiding the
gridlines. This can make an effective presentation of material if
you want the appearance of columns without the traditional
look of a table.
