Making a Table in your document

Making a table is very easy in Word or Open Office. In both cases, Table is at the top. When you choose it, you can say how many rows and columns you want it to be. It is very similar in both programs.
The difference in the two programs comes when you try and make changes to the border. In Word, you will notice a small plus sign in the top left corner. Right click - or Option click on this sign and you will get a screen that gives you more options
for your borders. In Open Office, a screen pops up on your page once you have made your table that gives you choices to click on to change the borders. I would recommend you play with this sometime to see all the different formatting styles you can get.
Do let me know if you have any other questions or if you are having any success with this process. Thanks.
