ACTIVITY 8 TABLES II

M5P1

Writer provides a table creation button in the standard toolbar

Using this button you can easily create tables just dragging the cursor to the needed amount of files and columns.

 

There is also a tables tool bar to edit tables.

Another option is to create the table using the menu Tablas→Insertar Tabla . This is the most accurate way of creating a table since using it you can set a table name, headers, size, and if the table can be fragmented between different pages.

 

Use the button Formato automático to apply a predefined design to the table.

 

 

It's possible to change the style of line in the table, meaning you can change the color thickness and pattern of the lines in the whole table, or in cells, or groups of cells. Select those cells and apply one of these buttons

 

You can also use the tool bar to merge and split cells.
