Creating tables

To create a table in a text document, use the Insert button on the toolbar. This can work one of two ways, if you click the Insert button you will display the Insert Table dialog. If you hold the mouse on the Insert button the Insert toolbar appears and you can drag across to the Insert Table button. Don't let go of the mouse at this stage (if you do, the Insert Table dialog appears), and instead drag down to display the table selector where you can select the number of rows and columns by dragging over the cells shown in the palette which appears.

To resize a column, hold your cursor over the border to its left and drag with the mouse when the mouse cursor changes to a resize shape. Right clicking in the table displays a menu of table options. To quickly format a table, click in it and choose Format, AutoFormat and choose a format from the displayed options. These same options are available in the spreadsheet using Format, AutoFormat provided you have selected a range at least three columns wide and three rows deep.
