Word Table Lab Create
a four-column, five-row table:

Menu bar.
2. Highlight Insert Table on the drop-down menu. Press Enter.

5. Select Auto in the Column Width field. Click on OK.
6. Enter the following
Text into a Table
Bold the Text for the first row of your table. Right-align
the second (Dolls), third (Trucks), and fourth (Puzzles) columns of the table
you created. Create
a new row above George York. Add: James Pillar 5214 Dolls 3247Trucks & 5467
Puzzles Add
a new column between the Salesperson and Dolls columns. Label the new column Region
and add the text shown in the table below. Sort
your table data by Region and within Region by Salesperson in ascending order:
Add
a new row to your table, place the word "Total" at the bottom of the
Salesperson column, and sum the Dolls, Trucks, and Puzzles columns Click
on Table, Highlight Formula. Press Enter. Type
=SUM(ABOVE) in the formula field, if it does not automatically appear. Select
#,##0 in the Number Format field. This selection will cause Microsoft Word to
separate thousands with a comma. Click on OK.
Unlike
a spreadsheet, Microsoft Word does not automatically recalculate every time you
make a change to the table. To cause a function to recalculate, you must first
move to the cell that contains the function and then press the F9 key. Alternatively,
you can move to the cell that contains the function, right-click, and select Update
Field from the context menu. Change the numbers in the Dolls column by adding
one to each. Move
to the Dolls/Total cell. Press F9. Highlight
Update Field on the menu. Press Enter.
Table
Headings If
Microsoft Word splits your table with a page break, the table heading will display
on the first page but not on subsequent pages. To correct this problem, you can
designate rows as headings. Heading rows are repeated on the top of your table
at the top of each page. To designate a row as a heading:
Place
your cursor on the row. Click
on Table, which is located on the Menu bar. Highlight
Headings on the drop-down menu. Press Enter.
