To insert a table, place the cursor where you want the table to be

In the dialog box, choose the number of columns and rows you want to appear in the table

Choose AutoFit to contents and click OK

The table appears in a small box. Begin entering the words you want in the table. Don’t forget you need the top row for labeling

each column!

After entering all of your words, edit the borders by right-clicking and choosing Borders and Shading from the drop down menu. Then unselect the borders (lines) you want to disappear.

To insert an image, place your cursor where you want the image to appear.

Choose Insert, Picture, From File and select the image you want to use.

Your image may appear too big. Don’t worry, you can resize it.

Resize by dragging the double arrow that appears when you move the cursor over the picture handles on any of the four corners.

If you are inserting a picture on a document with text, you may want to wrap the text around the picture.

Click on the Text Wrapping Tool on the Picture Toolbar.

A dialog box appears. You can choose many ways to wrap the

text.

To move your image exactly where you want it to be, move the cursor near the image until the cursor has four arrows then click and drag.

The box enclosed in dotted lines shows you where the picture will be placed.

Today we’ll insert an image onto a document to look like this:
