In addition to hyperlinks, tables are probably one of the most commonly used element in an institutional research web page. They are useful for putting data in a format that is easier to view and understand.
Tables also play a very important role in laying out a web page.
A web developer often takes advantage of tables to overcome the layout limitation that currently exist with today's web standard, such as only being able to create one space between each word. From the Insert Table dialog box, specify the number of rows and columns you want in your table and click OK . Now that you have created your table, you can add text or images to the cells in the same way you would with a word processor. To navigate between cells within the table, you can select the cell directly, or you could use the Tab key or the Shift Tab key. To add more rows to the table, tab or select the bottom right corner cell of the table and hit the Tab key.
