When you want to make a listing of information neat and easy to read in your writing piece, you can create a table. You can do this by going to the Table pull-down menu and selecting Insert to Table, or you can simply click on the table icon on the standard toolbar and choose your number of rows and columns. Once youve created your table, you can change the width of the columns by dragging the vertical lines. You can also split, merge, and delete columns and rows.
