Insert tables in Word 2007 real Quickly without touching your Mouse

Written by Amit Banerjee on 14 Dec, 2008 Under Software

Adding tables in your Word documents can be made easier using keyboard shortcut and you don’t even need your mouse.I accidentally discovered this trick while I was preparing a word document and i am sure you are going to enjoy this trick.

To add tables all you need is a combination of + and –.The + acts as a Column break while the – acts as the width of the column.

As an Example if you want a Three column Table just Copy and paste the Following line in your Word Document and Hit enter

+———–+————–+————-+

Table with KeyboardsTo navigate within the cells and enter data use the Tab Key.To insert Multiple rows Use the Tab key when you are in the rightmost column.

Works with Ms-office 2007 as well as with OpenOffice.Have no idea whether it works in older versions of Word or not.
