Chapter: 03. Word Processor Tabular Representation

A student wants to organize their weekly study schedule with subjects and timings. Which feature should they use, and how would they start?
They should use the Table feature. To start, they would click on the “Insert” tab, then select the “Table” command and either use the grid or the “Insert Table” option to create a table with enough rows for days or time slots and columns for subjects. ​

A teacher created a table of student grades but wants a single heading “Annual Exam Results” to appear centrally above all subject columns. How can she achieve this within the table?
The teacher should first insert a new row at the top of the table. Then, she needs to select all the cells in this new row and use the Merge Cells command, found under the “Layout” tab. This will combine them into one large cell where she can type the centered heading. ​
PlantUML Diagram
John entered long names in his table, and they are now cut off in the column. How can he quickly make the column wide enough to show all the names without manual dragging?
John can quickly adjust the column width by clicking anywhere in the table. Then, he should go to the “Layout” tab, click on the “AutoFit” command, and select “AutoFit Contents.” This will automatically resize the columns to fit the longest content, ensuring all names are visible. ​

Sarah wants to make the header row of her budget table stand out and also highlight rows for “Expenses” with a light color. What two formatting features can she use?
To make the header row stand out, Sarah can use Borders to give it a distinct outline, possibly with a thicker line. To highlight “Expenses” rows, she can use Shading to fill those specific rows with a light background color, making them visually separate. ​
PlantUML Diagram
A student has a table listing club members by name and contact. They realize they forgot to add a column for “Emergency Contact” between “Name” and “Contact”. How can they add this new column?
To add the new column, the student should click on any cell within the “Contact” column. Then, they would go to the “Layout” tab under “Table Tools” and select the Insert Left command in the “Rows & Columns” group. This action will insert a new, blank column to the left of the “Contact” column for “Emergency Contact.” ​
PlantUML Diagram
A presentation needs a table to look more professional with a specific color scheme and borders, but the student wants to avoid manually setting everything. What feature can they use for a quick transformation?
The student can use the Table Styles feature for a quick transformation. By simply clicking anywhere on the table and then selecting a desired style from the “Table Styles” group under the “Design” tab, they can instantly apply a professional, pre-defined combination of color schemes and borders to the entire table. ​
PlantUML Diagram
A cell in a project table currently says “Tasks”. The student now wants to break this into “Task Name” and “Due Date” within that single cell. How can they modify the cell?
The student needs to split the cell. They should select the cell containing “Tasks,” then go to the “Layout” tab and click “Split Cells.” In the dialog box that appears, they would specify 1 row and 2 columns, then click OK. This will divide the single cell into two, allowing them to enter “Task Name” in one and “Due Date” in the other. ​
