Do you struggle using tables in Microsoft Word? A Quick Table might help, especially if you are using the same set of table formats across several documents.
Go to the Insert tab in the ribbon. Go to Table->Quick Tables, then select a table format you like. Replace the headers and data included in the table with yours.
Already have a table from a template you have to use? Add it as a Quick Table!
Select the whole table. In the same drop down, at the bottom of the display, click on “Save Selection to Quick Tables Gallery”.
This display appears:
Fill in the Name field. Built-in is the default category, but your table will display at the end of all the other built-in tables. For your table to display first, click on the Category drop down and fill in 01_ before a name. Any table you add to this Category will appear before other Categories.
It takes a little set up to add your common table formats to Quick Tables, but the effort is worth it!
