The easiest way to delete a whole table is to place the cursor in one of the cells and delete it from the TABLE MENU -> DELETE -> TABLE. AutoFormat - Allows the user to apply preformatted table options.Border - Applies all border to the table.Don't Split Table - Tries to prevent the inserted table from splitting over to the next page.The First _ Rows - Allows for multiple rows to be Header rows.Repeat Heading - Allows the header row to be repeated if the table splits over to a another page.Heading - Creates a Header row for the table.Size - Spin up or type the number of Rows/Columns needed in the table.Name - With the Navigator tool a user can jump to a specific table within a document.The INSERT TABLE command open the Insert Table dialogue box as shown here. The MORE button at the bottom of the grid will open the same dialogue box that the INSERT -> TABLE command does. In the example shown here a table containing 4 columns and 3 rows will be created. As you drag over the cells an information box displays the number of columns (first number) and rows (second number) that will be created. Table Button - Clicking the Table button on the Standard toolbar opens a grid-like menu containing cells which allows you to drag over these cells to create rows and columns.Menu Command - TABLES -> INSERT -> TABLES.Tables can be inserted into a document either through the Table Menu command or the Table button located on the Standard toolbar: Whenever information needs to be organized in rows and columns, particularly with a column and/or header row, Tables will always win out over tabs in both ease of use and functionality. Content can be aligned both vertically and horizontally in cells.Borders can be applied to the whole table or to individual cells.Each cell can have its own background colour without effecting its neighbour.Rows heights can be set numerically negating the need to use paragraph Enters to build a row height.Therefore small amounts of information can be typed into each cell without effecting the Calendar layout. As more text is typed the cells will expand vertically downward not horizontally as is the case with tabs. Text will wrap within the cell without effecting the cells on either side. Every cell in a table is a unique container that holds information.

Borders can not be placed around individual dates because borders are Paragraph property and are applied to the whole paragraph.

Formatting a date to stand out with a background colour can only be applied to the single line space as shown.

Typing more than one or two very short words will always yield this result. The calendar dates no longer line up (the tab stops are shown as light grey arrows between the numbers). But in this case as the text spans across the space it encroached on the next tab stop and this tab is forced to push its text to the next tab stop and this continues resulting in the last number being forced onto the next line as shown (28).

Text is typed horizontally on a single line as is normally done on a page.

This is how both methods handle the text: However the most obvious difference between the two calendars is when calendar information is actually typed directly into the calendars. On the surface, both calendars look good and if the intention was just to print them out and write important calendar information on the printed copies then both calendars would work fine. To illustrate some important differences on how Tabs and Tables differ when organizing information into rows and columns, a generic one month calendar, shown below, demonstrates both methods: Tabs can also be used to create a calendar, which on the surface, has the "appearance" of being made up of rows and columns. An example of a regimented structure with a column header would be a calendar. Tables are often used to create regimented row and column structures often with a Column and/or row header. In situations where lots of information is being organized Tables out perform Tabs in many ways. Cells can be filled with a background colour and can have borders applied to them. Content can be aligned both vertically and horizontally in cells.

Tables are a better choice as they are actually made up of rows and columns of cells that alignment content naturally. When organizing information into rows and columns, two tools can be used: Tabs or Tables.
