Format a Table • All of the columns are of equal width when the table is created. • The width of table columns can be changed.
Format a Table • Rows or columns can be added anywhere in a table.
Format a Table • Table titles typically span across all of the columns. • Cells can be merged to include information across the columns.
Format a Table • Apply formatting • Bold face • Change the spacing of paragraphs
Format a Table • Table cells have black borders when created.

Create a Document Using a Template • Word provides predesigned templates for letters, resumes, reports, invoices, and other types of documents.
