Question hi
i can not figure out how to use the tables. i need to create a table with different sized columns..5 small and one large...how do i do this?
Answer Hello C,
It is very easy to create a table in Microsoft Publisher.
You can do it one of two ways.
(1) In the object tool bar on the left hand side of your window, you will see a little table icon. It looks like a box with gridlines.
Click on it and then mouse over to your document. Once you drag your mouse key over the document, a menu will open up for you to create a table.
Type in the number or rows and columns you want. You can also choose a template for your tables to customize your table.
(2) You can get the same "create tables" tool box by selecting table from the drop down menus along the top row where the "file" drop down menu is located. It should next to the menu that says "tools." I am using Publisher 2007 so it may not be located in the same spot.
If it not located there is may be located in the "insert" drop down. In any event once you find the toolbar to insert the table, you will have the option to select how many columns and rows you want. You can right click on a column or row to adjust the height and width.
