I am your instructor, Richard Rost.Today's lesson is all about tables - using tables in Microsoft Word. I am going to show you several different ways to create tables: creating tables at the toolbar, with the menu bar, insert table command, and the table toolbar. I will show you all kinds of different tips and tricks for working with tables, inserting rows, formatting your tables, and working with columns. We will learn how to use the auto format and table styles. I will show you how to put functions in your table so you can do things like add up a column of numbers. I will show you a little tiny bit of Microsoft Excel where we can copy and paste spreadsheet fragments and make them Word tables. I will also show you how to use tables to lay out your documents. We will create an actual resume in class so you can see how we use tables to lay out the resume. This class follows Microsoft Word 204. I strongly recommend you take that one before taking Word 205. In this class, I am going to be using Microsoft Word 2003. Tables have not changed much since Word 2000, so if you are using 2000, XP, or 2003, you will find that 99 percent of everything I am going to show you in today's class is just about the same. Tables are one feature that has not really changed much. As always, I strongly recommend you sit back, relax, and watch each video through once without doing anything. Then replay the video again, following along with the examples. While you are watching my lessons, I want you to keep an open mind. Studies have shown that people who are open to learning have the best retention rates. If you think positive and believe you can learn something, chances are you will perform better than someone who is closed-minded and thinks you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. You can learn this stuff; it is not hard. Of course, watching the videos more than once and practicing will reinforce what you have learned. If you need help, feel free to visit the website and post in our user forums. If you are watching our class with our video player while you are connected to the internet, you will also see the user forums pop up just to the right of your videos. QuizQ1.

SummaryToday's video from Word Learning Zone focuses on working with tables in Microsoft Word. In this lesson, I will guide you through multiple techniques for creating tables, including using the toolbar, menu bar, the Insert Table command, and the table toolbar. We will cover a broad range of tips for managing and formatting tables, such as inserting rows, adjusting columns, and applying auto format and table styles.You will learn how to include functions in your tables, allowing you to perform calculations like summing a column of numbers. I will also demonstrate how you can take pieces of spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel, copy them, and convert them into tables right inside Word. Tables can be very versatile, and I will show you how to use them for document layout as well. You will see a practical example as we design a resume together, using tables for layout and organization. This course builds on material from Microsoft Word 204, and I highly recommend that you complete that class before moving on to this one. We will be working in Microsoft Word 2003, but all the table features demonstrated here are nearly identical in Word 2000 and Word XP, so you can easily follow along with any of these versions. I always suggest you begin by simply watching the video from start to finish before trying any of the steps yourself. After your first viewing, go back through the lesson and work along with the examples. Keep an open mind as you learn; research has shown that a positive attitude greatly improves retention. Practice is key to absorbing new information, so reviewing the videos several times and practicing on your own will help you reinforce what you have learned. If you have questions as you go through the course, you are welcome to visit our website and take part in the user forums for more support. When using our video player with an internet connection, you will also notice the forums conveniently appear next to the lesson. You can find a complete video tutorial with step-by-step instructions on everything discussed here on my website at the link below. Live long and prosper, my friends.
