Working with Microsoft Word tables

This section provides some hints and tips about working with tables in Microsoft Word. Generally it gives only one way of achieving a particular end, but there are often other ways. You can find more information in Word's Help, particularly under 'Keyboard Shortcuts'.

It is always worth experimenting and asking colleagues for tips. You might feel that you do not have time to do so, but ten minutes spent once in a while to find a new time‑saver can save you much more than that over the years.
