Insert a table

Hi,

I attended a word course on Friday and one of the toolbars had a button on it to insert a table whereby you simply clicked on the button and you could highlight how many rows and columns you wanted to insert and it would come up straight away. I have found the button, or what looks to be the button except when I click on it I have to type in the number of rows and columns rather than just dragging my mouse over the boxes. Can I change this?

Thanks!

RE: Insert a table

Hi Ali

Thanks for your question.

The button you are referring to is on the standard toolbar, normally to the right of the table button with the Excel symbol on top of it - it will say Insert Table when you hold your mouse over it.

I hope this answers your question.

thanks
Amanda

Word tip:

Now you see it, now you don't - hidden text in Word

Did you know you can choose to temporarily hide text in a Word document? The text is still part of the document, but it won't appear on screen unless you choose to have it displayed.

Here's how:

1. Highlight (select) the text you wish to hide.

2. Go to Format - Font.

3. In the Effects section of the Font dialogue box, tick 'Hidden'.

4. Click OK.

The portion of text you have chosen to hide should no longer be visible on your screen, unless you have the Show/Hide button turned on.

If you can see the hidden text in your document, and you haven't got the Show/Hide button turned on then:

1. Go to Tools - Options - View.

2. Under the 'Formatting marks' section, deselect Hidden text.

5. Click OK.
