Microsoft Word 2016 allows the users to present information in a tabular format. In this chapter,
we will learn to create, modify and format a table using various features available in Word 2016.

Table

A table is a grid made up of rows and columns. The intersection of rows and columns form
rectangular boxes called cells. Data is entered in the cells in the form of text or graphics.
Columns are vertical series of cells whereas rows are horizontal series of cells in a table.

A table displays data in an organised way in a document. It is inserted at the point where the
cursor is positioned. This helps us to present the information in an eff ective manner.
