Would you like to clearly arrange text, numbers or pictures next to each other in tabular form in a document? Then simply insert a table into the document.

Of course, you could also use tabs if you only want to set up a simple list, but tables offer the following advantages:

▪Text is automatically wrapped to multiple lines within a table cell if it does not fit in. The height of the table row adjusts automatically.

▪You can easily select individual cells (or complete rows and columns) in tables, and then delete, copy, move or format their content.

▪Table cells can have borders, a grid of gutter lines or a shaded background.

▪You can even perform calculations with the contents of tables. For more information, see Calculations in the text.
