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 3-14 and “Adding a date or time” and “Numbering pages” on
page 3-16.
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 4-34.
For more information abut creating and using a spreadsheet frame,
see “Spreadsheet basics” on page 7-2.
