Microsoft Word Tutorial: Using Tables in Word

Tables play a significant role when it comes to laying out a document. They present data in columns and rows and make information look more organized and easier to read. Tables in Word have a contextual ribbon with many options available to reorganize, modify, and format them to match the overall look and feel of the document.

In this video, we look at several ways to insert tables into Word documents.

Brilliant video. Is there a video, that shows how to skip a cell with the TAB button. I have made a table, that is only possible to write in every second cell, but the cursor stops in every cell and I want to skip the cell that can´t be edited.

[deaneyford]

Lovely video thank you very much. I have a question for you. How many years did it take you to reach 437K views on this?

Is it possible to apply a macro to tables in Word? I want to automatically have the words that are pasted in the table go to all UPPERCASE then, set the font size and color, align-center left, distribute rows, AutoFit contents, and AutoFit window. I can do all this manually but I haven't had any luck making it a macro.

[lachimpaul]

Please can you make a tutorial on citation and references.

[marietamccune]

Can I change a document's <Autofit behavior> options if somebody else has created the record and I translate one of the columns? I need help with the column width to insert the translated text because I do not see part of the sentences.

I was looking for marge cells and unmerged can you tell more about merging a table

[rfarano]

Thanks for the Vid. One thing forgotten unless I missed. How to copy a table -without the text- would be useful to know. I need to make multiple tables that are similar, but with different data. I can always delete the old data. It just gets cofusing. I wish the table would copy over formatted, but blank

How can you draw a half line in a cell??

[isaacmwesigwa]

Sometimes you merge or split cells and content in adjacent cells disappears. how do you recover it?

[tommyharris]

Problem: When I try to add or draw a table adjacent to an existing table, it jumps to the page below or gets stuck between two pages. Why is this?

[zakariyamohamed]

I'm trying to create a table with 15 columns and 20 rows.. and I want that table to contain one words want the words to be too tiny hardly visible. How can cope with that situation?
