- In the Insert Table window, move your mouse across the squares to select a table area containing the amount of columns and rows you want your table to include.
- Once your selection has been made, click the table again.
Note: You can add more rows and columns from the Table Properties once the table has been created - The table is added to your page.
- Double-click a cell to add text to the table. You can navigate the Table using your mouse or the Tab key to move forward and Shift-Tab to move back. Click off the Table, anywhere on the stage, when you are done.
To edit the table:
Resizing
- You can resize the Table by selecting it and dragging the handles to the desired height and width.

Note: If you will be creating a print or document form of the page or course, use % values of 100 or less over other units of measure. Any value over 100% or of a different unit of measure (such as pixels) in these fields may result in a Table that does not fit the standard printed document page.
