4 CREATE AND WORK WITH
TABLES
Creating and working with tables is essential for organising and presenting data effectively in documents.
Tables provide a clear structure, making complex information easy to read and compare. They enhance the
visual appeal of a document, improve readability, and facilitate data analysis by summarising key points in a
grid format. With customisable layouts, tables can be adapted to various needs, such as creating schedules,
tracking expenses, or performing comparative analyses.
CREATING AND MANAGING TABLE
Table in LibreOffice Writer refers to a structured arrangement of data made up of rows and columns. It is
used to organise information in a grid format, making it easier to read, compare, and analyse data. Tables are
composed of horizontal rows and vertical columns. The intersection of a row and a column forms a cell, which
can contain text, numbers, or other data.
Creating a Table
You can insert a table in a document by using the Standard toolbar. For this, you need to click on the Table
button on the Standard toolbar and drag over the required number of rows and columns you want to insert
into the table.
You can also insert a table in a document by using the Insert Table dialog box.
The steps to insert a table in a document by using the Insert Table dialog box are as follows:
Step 1: Open the document in which you want to insert the table.
