Tables are a wonderful way of organizing information on your page. To insert a table into your document:
1. Click once on the Insert Menu, and then move down and click once on Table. You now have the chance to decide how many rows and columns will be in your table. Once you have selected the desired numbers of rows and columns click OK.
Notice that the Table menu has now appeared. You can use the table menu to edit your table.

2. You can enter text into a cell of a table by clicking in it and typing. You move between cells by pressing the tab key or the arrow keys on your keyboard.

3. You are able to apply all formatting to text in a table. We can make our text bold, italic, etc.
You are also able to apply borders and shading to your table cells.

4. To shade a cell click and drag your mouse over the cells you want to highlight them.
Next, go the table menu(which should appear each time you click inside the table.) If it does not, then go to the view menu choose toolbars then choose tables and borders.
From the menu that appears click on the fill tab at the top. Click on the pull down menu and select color or texture you want the cells to be shaded and then click OK.
