Table Tab in Documents

The Table dropdown can be used to insert tables into your document or adjust any currently selected tables. It would be visible once you have inserted a table from the Insert table tab.

Insert Table – Inserts a table that will automatically expand to fill the space between your document margins. You can specify the number of rows and columns using the creation grid. Once a table is inserted, you can modify it using the below options while it is selected.
  Right-clicking on a table provides additional table customizations:
  • Insert – Columns left/right and rows above/below the currently selected cell or cell range.
  • Delete – The currently selected row, cell, column, or table.
  • Table Borders... – Adjusts the borders of the currently selected cell or cell range.
  • Table Shade Color (Font popup menu) – Changes the fill color of the currently selected cell(s).
  • Table Style (Font popup menu) – Adjusts the borders of the currently selected cell or cell range.
Table Style... – Adjusts the table color scheme from a list of predefined styles. Additional table toggles include:
 
  • Header Row – The topmost row will be used as a header with special formatting.
  • Total Row – The bottommost row will be used as a total row with special formatting.
  • First Column – Displays special formatting for the first column of the table.
  • Last Column – Displays special formatting for the last column of the table.
  • Banded Rows – Applies different visual formatting to alternating rows, making them easier to read.
  • Banded Columns – Applies different visual formatting to alternating columns, making them easier to read.
Table Borders... – Opens the Table Borders and Shading dialog, which adjusts borders and shading per-cell, per-column, or per-table basis.
Show Gridlines – Toggles whether or not to show gridlines on a printed document containing a table.
