Insert Table To insert: to put something in Table  Insert – Choose number of columns and rows

Resizing a table Easiest way – just drag a side or corner! This leaves it looking ugly, so we need to distribute the rows and columns evenly.

Distributing Rows and Columns This makes each row and column even Table  Distribute Row, Distribute Column Another choice – fit to content

Paragraphing Classic Paragraphing Business (Modern) Paragraphing

Classic Paragraphing Classic paragraphing begins with a TAB indentation, looking like this. You should not add any spaces between paragraphs, you just need to use a new TAB indent. It should look something like this. Remember, use the TAB key, not the spacebar. If you use the spacebar, it might become uneven. The TAB Key always indents the same amount.

Modern Paragraphing Modern paragraphing does not use any indentation, so there’s no need to use the TAB key. Instead, you add a space between paragraphs. It looks like this. You can choose either way of paragraphing your writing. Just don’t do both! And don’t forget what you’ve learned about paragraphs in ARW!

Theory Review what we’ve studied with your neighbor.

Instructions Read the situation described carefully. What type of computer, input devices, output devices, and software will be most useful in this situation?
