MICROSOFT WORD - TABLE

A table is nothing different from what we call a spread sheet in Microsoft excel, it consists of rows and columns in which data can be entered. Like i said in one of my previous posts, when a row cuts across a column a little rectangle is formed and that rectangle is what we refer to as a CELL. Comparing the table in word and excel can be said to be futile because excel was designed specifically that why, while word only has a feature like that. So how can i get a table in Microsoft word becomes the next question. A table is not very hard or easy to look for, but am going to show you how and were it can be gotten and also the uses.
Table is found under the insert button in the menu bar, after clicking on the insert button, click on table, something will appear like the image below

 (IMAGE GOTTEN FROM WIKIHOW, FOR VERSION 2007).
If you count the number of boxes there, you will discover that the columns are 10 while the rows are just 8, making it 10x8. that's the total number of default table the computer can give to you. In some cases we might be asked to design a table that probably has more or lesser than the default table, what can we do ?
If i am asked to create a table containing 4 columns and 4 rows, i will click on insert, then table and move my cursor to the forth column after which i take my hands downward to the forth row and then click on the last cell for the table to be drawn. But in a situation where i am to draw a table carrying more rows, columns and cells than the default, what i am expected to do is this;
After clicking in table
Click insert table (BOX SEEN BELOW WILL APPEAR)

where we have number of rows and columns  what you do is to type the required number there and click on OK and the table will appear on the typing page, there the user (you and i) can decide to edit the borders, change the table pattern, alignment and also remove some lines with the aid of the eraser tool.
Under table, we also have the DRAW TABLE feature which helps me to draw or attach another table to an existing table or create a new table as the case may be.
We also have the advantage of inserting tables from Microsoft excel and also accessing the quick tables in forms of calenders.

HOW CAN I ADD A ROW OR COLUMN TO AN EXISTING TABLE?
this is done by highlighting a portion of the table and then right click on the highlighted portion and click on insert. This is where we find the options, either to add rows and columns to left or right. When any of these is selected, they effect is seen immediately.
