Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie, let's look at some more of the options for tables. Let's go insert a blank table to work with. Go to table, insert, table. I'm going to just leave it on no formatting and click OK. It just throws it in your document so grab it with your four-headed arrow so you can move that around. You'll notice it has no borders or shaping or anything. We just have a blank table. What we can do is add some rows, so I'm going to go to table, insert, rows. You can continue to do that; how many ever I need. The nice thing about tables is if you have specific item that you need filled down, it will copy that information for you so you don't have to do them one by one. I'll type Monday in this cell. Say I need that all the way down my table here. So I will highlight Monday. I highlight Monday and the empty cells that I want it to fill down to. So I go to table, fill down. Automatically copies that information straight down the table. You can use the fill right-hand if you select your cells to the right. Works the same way. So those are an extra option. If you ever have anything you need to repeat, use that option. That way you don't have to worry about copying and pasting it over and over. You'll notice another option on our table menu is grow to fit text. It's automatically selected so if our cell is not wide enough for the information, it automatically is widening our cell. We can go in here obviously and pull it if we want it to go across the page a little bit. But that option is automatically on. If you don't want that, obviously you need to select it and remove it. Now one more things; we merged the cells earlier right here. If we want to split those back up, we can simply go to table and we've got to take off our cell diagonal, so click no division. And now we can go to table and we can split those cells. So that pulled it back into separate areas. So you can merge the cells. If later on you change your mind, you can always split them back up. And if you change your mind later on about the way the table looks, just go to table, auto format and you can choose a completely different format from where you started. You'll notice it keeps your information. You don't lose anything but you can automatically redo, rework any of that information that you have within your table. So again, go take some time, play with some tables. They're great organizers for your information.
