Tables Jazz them Up

How would you like, with only a couple of clicks, to change this ordinary MS Word table:

Into snazzy looking tables

Or, how about dozens of other styles? The first thing you need to do is draw/create your table. Once you have the table drawn, you're ready to go! Next, put your cursor anywhere in the table. Now, you're looking for the Table menu, Table AutoFormat choice.

Another way is to right click on the table and then choose Table AutoFormat from the pop up menu. (If you're using Word 97, you only need to have the cursor placed in the table for this to work. Newer versions require you to highlight the entire table and then right click). Once you've made the selection, the Table AutoFormat window will open. This window gives you a choice of styles at the top and a preview in the bottom of the window. (The exact layout of this window may vary from version to version, but you're still looking for the same elements).

Take some time and scroll through the list. Beware though, there are a lot of choices! Find the one you like the best and leave it selected. When you've made your decision, click OK. Voila!
