Word Tables the easy way

You can create a table in word without mouse and pull down Windows. Isn’t that nice?

Tell me more you say, well I will

You use the positive symbol + and the negative symbol ‐ on the numeric keyboard

Here is an example

Press + then – then + and press Enter As you can see this gives you a single cell

Now press + then – then 5 positives +++++ and Enter and Enter again Now you have a double row of five cells and the cursor is waiting in the first cell for a value

Numeric Now if you type your value as above the cell adjusts to the size of the value neat yes?

It is called autoformat.

If however your autofit is set to a constant size you can alter that by

Holding down Alt then press A followed by A and F this creates the desired effect

If you decide half way through you need to alter everything and start again

Hold down Alt press A, D, T, and this deletes your table enabling you to start again
