How to Surprise your Friends by Creating Table Differently

by gedet basumatary on May 24, 2008

Today I am going to tell you how to create a normal table but through different method in Microsoft Word. I am sure if you use this method to create table in front of your friends, colleagues or anyone, they’ll surely think that you’re a tech-freak and most probably a hacker.

So let’s see how we create this table differently:-

You can create this table without the touch of mouse and Menu. Isn’t it strange!!!

Type the content “+–+–+–+” in Microsoft Word and press Enter without the quotes. One row of a table and three columns will be created and for more rows you can press TAB.

How this works:-

Step 1: When you have typed this

+—+—+—+—+

and

Step 2: After pressing Enter having the cursor at the last ‘+’ , results in creating a table with a single row

Step 3: Press TAB to create more rows

Step 4: Here ‘+’ represents the column borders and ‘-’ represents the length of the each column

So how is the trick? Hope you enjoyed it :)

lol. I remember once creating a table like that when I was like 8 years old in the Lotus 123 (ancient spreadsheet) because I didn’t know how to make the cells appear in print. I felt so smart…!
