Creating and formatting tables in Word

Click on Microsoft Office to learn how to create and format Word tables. If you prefer, you can create a table in Excel and then paste it into Word to format it. It will be much easier to make a table that conforms to APA style once you are familiar with the Word formatting instructions.

I created tables for inclusion in proposals quite a bit at my last job. I'd be happy to help anyone that gets frustrated with Microsoft's incessant habit of "helping" the author by auto-formatting (though I am by no means an expert). I echo the suggestion that tables be created in Excel and then pasted into word; the excel formatting mechanism is much easier to navigate.

This resource is also for me! I have considered how to improve my skills to create and format Word tables. I can create very simple tables. Fortunately, my skills have covered my school and RA works, but I sometimes feel that I need to learn more about creating diverse tables including APA style. I will also try to make a table by using Excel program.
Thanks for good resource as well!
