Tables for Side-by-Side Information

To create side-by-side columns (for example for a phone list, invoice, or catalog), use a table. The table’s cells keep your information lined up neatly, no matter how often you edit the text.

For the basics of inserting and formatting a table, see the following illustration. For more information on modifying a table—such as inserting rows, changing column widths, or centering the table—look up Getting Results - Look of Document in Help.
