Tables
The Table feature in Word allows the user to keep information in multiple columns that are aligned no matter how often a document is edited. Tables consists of rows and columns of boxes, called cells, that you can fill with text, hyperlinks, and/or graphics. Within each cell, text wraps just as it would at the margins in a document - cells will expand vertically to fit the amount of text you type or the height of an image.
You will be creating a two tables in this section: your daily class schedule and Word 2010 shortcuts. Specific directions are provided for your schedule, while you can be more creative with the shortcuts table!
Please remember to upload your work to Edmodo upon completion.
