Learn MS Word: Get It Done While Your Table Is Highlighted

I guess I should explain the title of this post. When you need to do a Financial Table within an MS Word Document from scratch, there are a lot of things you can initially do to get the table ready for use so let's go over them. 1. Determine how many columns and rows are needed for your table. 2. Create your table 3. If in Print Layout View, you can select your entire table by clicking on the target symbol that comes up on the top left side when your cursor is within your table. 4. Once your entire table is selected, you can do the following in preparation. A. Remove your border lines so that you are left with your grey grid. B. Remove before and after spacing so that there is no extraneous spacing in the table. C. Adjust the font size if necessary D. Make sure all cells are bottom left aligned E. Make sure that those cells that will accommodate your numbers are all Left Aligned. By doing this, you can use the method for your numbers that uses the right tab for your $ sign lines and the dec align tab for your non-dollar sign lines. It won't work unless the cells are left aligned. F. Finally, with the Table still highlighted, go into Table Properties and decide on the horizontal alignment. Will your table be left, center or right aligned. Now you should be ready to put your table together. While there may be minor adjustments to be done with column width etc. this initial exercise that I have suggested you go through will help you to put your table together a bit easier.
