There are two major ways in which one can create tables in Word. One way is by using the menu option and the other is using the toolbar. Both of these methods will be covered in the following pages.

To create a table using the Menu, follow the steps below:

• Place the insertion point where you want the table to appear.
• Click on Table in the menu bar and select Insert Table.

• The Insert Table dialog box appears with several options.

•  
• In the Insert Table dialog box, type the number of columns and rows that you want for your table.
• To create the table, click the OK button. An empty table appears on your screen and you are ready to begin adding information to the table.
