CREATING A TABLE

3. For the table below, select 3 columns and 6 rows.
4. Type the information below in the table you have created. Be sure to center and bold the text in the first row.
   NOTE: To move from cell to cell, use the TAB key. To move backward from cell to cell, use SHIFT-TAB.
   To move within a cell, use the left and right arrow keys.
   To move up or down a row, use the up and down arrow keys.

Resizing and centering the table.

1. To resize the table (make it smaller), place the cursor in the lower left hand corner of the table (the last cell) – do not click the mouse.
2. A small square will appear – place the cursor over that square and click and drag the table to the left, so it is smaller – make it about one inch smaller.
3. To center the table, (move into the center of the paper), you must select it first. Place the cursor in the first cell (up left-hand corner) of the table. A small box will appear with a cross sign in it. Click on this box.
4. The table is selected. Now click on Center in the Formatting Tool Bar. (NOTE: You can also select the entire table by clicking on Table in the menu bar, point to Select and click on Table).
5. NOTE: You may also center the table by clicking anywhere in the table, selecting Table Properties from the Table menu, and clicking on center. Try it.
