Drawing Tables
Summary: Word 2007 provides several ways that you can insert tables into your document. One of the more esoteric ways of creating a table is to simply draw the table on-screen. This tip explains how you can do just that.As an alternative to using the convenient Insert Table command, you can use Word's draw-a-table feature. It is easy to do by following these steps:
- Display the Insert tab of the Ribbon.
- Click the Table option on the Ribbon. Word displays a drop-down list.
- Select Draw Table from the list of options. Word changes to Print Layout view (if you are not already in that view) and changes the mouse pointer so it looks like a pencil.
- Use the mouse pointer to define the outside borders of your table, much as you would draw in a drawing program.
- Use the pencil to draw the columns and rows into the table.
- Press Esc when you are done. Word changes the mouse pointer back to normal.
