Introduction:
Creating documents using Microsoft Word allows for the manipulation and display of text and other information. Tables, which are made up of rows and columns that form cells, can be utilized to organize information in your document. Formatting text, structuring your document, and adding a little bit of aesthetic appeal to your document are just a few ways in which you can use tables in Word. By using tables, you can turn an otherwise dull and unorganized document into a more well-designed and laid-out project. This guide will provide some basic information on the creation and manipulation of tables.

Note: Please refer to our Word tutorial for more general information about this program. If you do not have much previous experience using Word, then you may want to review that tutorial before starting this one.

Open a Document:
Before you can begin working with tables, you must first open up a document in Word. You can either start a new blank document (File >> New, or Ctrl+N), or open up a previously saved document from your computer (File >> Open, or Ctrl+O). Once the file is opened in Word, you can insert a table.
