WORD: Using a Quick Table

You are in WORD, typing away, and have to insert a set of dates and numbers.  You have lots of options, but one I use a lot is to insert a quick table.  Using a table will line up your dates and numbers like magic! Here's how:

1. Position your cursor where you want to insert the data.
2. On the toolbar, choose Table, Insert Table
3. Choose how many columns & rows you want to include in your table.  For this example, I am choosing of 2 columns and 2 rows.  Choose OK.

Your quick table is inserted:  now you just enter your figures and you've got a readable table which adds a little professionalism to your document!  It's also a great way to line up dollars and cents without setting up decimal tabs.
