Tables Uses for Tables in the Real World Cindy Collins Southeastern Louisiana University

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.

Once tables are created, they can be easily modified. Rows and columns can be added or deleted.

Rows and columns can be resized, they can be shaded,

and they can be split or merged. Split Cells Merged Cells

The appearance of the table can be easily changed by applying borders, adding shading, changing font styles, sizes, and colors,

or by applying the preset AutoFormat styles

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.

Sample Fax Sheet with Gridlines Displayed Printed Copy Will Not Show Lines

Information in tables can be easily sorted

and formulas can be used to add, subtract, average, etc.

Now that you know a little more about tables, can you think of ways of incorporating them into your daily activities? Here are some suggestions from both teachers and students.

From Teachers: Use tables to record grades; Use tables to assist students in analyzing data; Use tables to create rubrics for evaluation; Have students use tables for concise and organized presentations.

From Students: Use tables to organize class and activities schedules; Use tables to organize study notes; Use tables to manage work schedules.

Now continue to the other Modules to learn more about creating and using tables. Don’t be afraid to use your imagination. Tables can be used for so much more that just creating calendars. How will YOU use tables?
