Chapter Notes
Tables
A table is a grid of columns and rows that organizes data [1]. A table has headings in the first row and related dates in the following rows. The intersection of row and column is a cell. The cell is where you type data.
A table is considered an object and can be manipulated independently of surrounding text. You can also change table settings so that rows and columns fit the data included in the table. To insert a table, click Table in the Tables group on the Insert tab.
Captions
A caption identifies a table, figure, or other object in a Word document [1]. A caption typically includes a label and is numbered. When a caption is created, it is formatted in the Caption formatting style. You can use the Styles pane to modify the Caption style applied to all captions in the document.
