Chapter: 03. Word Processor Tabular Representation

⁠

To control text alignment, first select the cell, row, column, or the entire table whose content you wish to adjust. Then, navigate to the “Layout” tab under “Table Tools.” In the “Alignment” group, you can choose from various options like “Align Center Left” or “Align Center” to position the text precisely within the cells.

⁠

Cell splitting is the opposite of merging; it involves dividing a single cell into multiple smaller cells. To perform this, select the cell, go to the “Layout” tab, and click “Split Cells.” A dialog box appears where you specify the desired number of rows and columns for the new sub-cells, then click OK.

⁠

Table Styles are pre-designed formatting templates available in Word that allow for quick, uniform styling of an entire table. Their main benefit is enabling users to apply a professional and consistent look to tables with just a single click, saving time and ensuring a polished presentation without manual formatting of each element.

⁠

To select an entire row, move your mouse pointer outside the left edge of the row until it transforms into a black right-pointing arrow, then click and drag across the row. For an entire column, move the pointer outside the top edge of the column until it becomes a black down-pointing arrow, then click to select.

⁠

One method involves clicking the “Insert” tab, then “Table,” and dragging the mouse over a grid to visually select the desired number of rows and columns. Another method is to click “Insert,” then “Table,” and select “Insert Table” from the dropdown, which opens a dialog box where you can numerically specify the exact number of columns and rows before clicking OK.

⁠

To enter data into a table, you first click directly into the specific cell where you want to add information. After typing the required data, you can press the Tab key on your keyboard to automatically move to the next cell in the row. This process is repeated until all data is filled into the table.

⁠

Cell merging is the process of combining two or more adjacent cells, either in the same row or column, into a single larger cell. This feature is commonly used to create headings that span across multiple columns, or to create a unified block of text or data that doesn’t fit neatly into individual cell boundaries, improving table presentation.

⁠

To add a new row, first click on any cell within the row adjacent to where you want the new row to appear. Then, navigate to the “Layout” tab under “Table Tools.” In the “Rows & Columns” group, choose either “Insert Above” to add a row above your selection or “Insert Below” for a row below it.

⁠

To move a table, first hover your mouse pointer over it until the “Move Table Handle” appears in its top-left corner. The pointer will change to a four-headed arrow. Click and hold this handle, then drag the entire table to your desired new position on the page, and finally release the mouse button.

⁠

A table is an organized structure that arranges information in a grid of vertical columns and horizontal rows. The point where a column and a row meet is called a cell, which is where individual pieces of data are entered. This structure helps in presenting and analyzing data clearly.

⁠

Borders involve adding lines around cells, rows, columns, or the entire table, with customizable styles, colors, and widths. Shading applies a background color fill to selected cells or areas. Both features are accessed via the “Design” tab and significantly improve the table’s visual appeal and readability.

⁠

To adjust column width and row height to fit content, click anywhere in your table. Then, go to the “Layout” tab and click on the “AutoFit” command. From the dropdown menu, select “AutoFit Contents,” and the table will automatically resize its columns to best fit the text within them.
