Use any of the following methods to make a table:

Working with pages

You can change the design of all or some of the pages in a document by
formatting text in columns, putting text in tables, and adjusting page and
column breaks.

You can also add headers and footers to pages and show the current page
number, date, and time in the document. See “Creating headers and footers”
on page 3-12, “Adding a date or time” on page 3-14, and “Numbering pages”
on page 3-15.

Creating a title page

If you’ve added a header or footer to a word processing document, you can
create a title page so that the header or footer doesn’t print on the first page.

To create a title page, choose Section from the Format menu. In the Section
dialog box, select Title Page, and then click OK.

For information on creating more than one title page in a document, see
“Dividing a document into sections” on page 4-22.

To make a table

Do this

By setting tabs

Use the pointer to drag tab stops to the text ruler. See “Setting and
changing tabs” on page 4-10.

To convert the tabbed table to a spreadsheet frame, select the text in
the table and click

on the button bar. See “Using the button bar”

on page 3-5.

By creating a
spreadsheet frame

Select the spreadsheet tool

from the tool panel and drag the

spreadsheet pointer diagonally. (If you don’t see the tool panel,
choose Show Tools from the Window menu.)

To make the spreadsheet frame move along with the text when you
make changes in the document, insert the spreadsheet frame as an
inline object, as if it were a character in the text. For more
information, see “Adding pictures and frames to text” on page 4-31.

For more information abut creating and using a spreadsheet frame,
see “Spreadsheet basics” on page 7-2.

Using an Assistant

Choose AppleWorks Assistants from the Help menu. Select Make Table and
click OK. See “Creating a document” on page 2-1 for more
information about Assistants.
