Using Tables in Word 2013

Overview/Description
Tables are a great way of sorting and organizing data to make it easier to read and analyze. In Word 2013, you can create tables in a variety of ways, either using the ribbon to specify the number of columns and rows required, drawing a table and customizing it as needed, or converting existing text to a table. Once you've created a table, there are many options available to customize its overall appearance. You can add and remove cells, columns, and rows as needed, as well as merge cells, split them apart, or even split a table into more than one table. You can use row and column design options, predefined styles, and border settings to further customize a table's appearance.
