MERGING CELLS


                  You can merge two or more cells in a table to create one large cell. This is used frequently
                  to merge the columns of the top row to create the title of the table. You can merge cells
                  row-wise or column-wise.
                                                                                                                  2

                         FORMATTING A TABLE

                  Formatting a table means organising and designing it to make the information inside clear and
                  easy to read. This includes creating headers, aligning text, using borders, maintaining proper
                  spacing,  ensuring  a  consistent  style,  highlighting  important information,  and  more.  These
                  elements work together to help viewers quickly understand the data presented in the table.

                  Let us study about some of the ways in which you can format a table.
