Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Select the "Draw Table" tool (it looks like a pencil) from the Tables and Borders toolbar. Click and drag your mouse to create a box for your chart.
-
Step 2
Click on the "Split Cells" tool (it looks like miniature chart). Choose your number of rows and columns and click "OK."
-
Step 3
To change the width of the columns, hover over the vertical line until a symbol appears that looks like two small lines with arrows pointing to the left and the right. Drag the line to the desired column width. Follow the same procedure to change the width of the rows.
-
Step 4
To shade a column or row, move the mouse outside the table until an arrow appears. It will be a black arrow pointing down to change a column and a white arrow pointing to the upper right to change a row. Click once to highlight the column or row.
-
Step 5
Select the "Shading Color" tool from the Tables and Borders toolbar (it looks a bit like a graduation cap). Click on the downward arrow to select the color you'd like to use.
-
Step 6
To add rows, click on the "Insert Rows" button on the Tables and Borders toolbar. To remove a row, click on the "Delete Rows" button which is right next to the "Insert Rows" button.
-
Step 7
To add a new column, highlight the column as you would to change the color (see Step 4). Click on the "Split Cells" button on the Tables and Borders toolbar.
-
Step 8
To adjust text, highlight the cell or cells you want to change. Use the "Align Text" buttons on the Tables and Borders toolbar to create top, middle or bottom aligned text that is left, right, or center justified.
