In this class, participants will learn the potential and versatility of tables by practicing the formatting features available on the Table menu and the Tables and Borders toolbar. We will together create a step-by-step table applying the features learned. You will then be given an independent assignment to complete on your own.

Participants must have completed previous Introduction to Windows training and Introduction to Word training classes, or be experienced users of MS Word. Supervisory approval is necessary.
