1. Open a new, blank document in Word 97 and select Table from the Windows MenuBar.
   [Switch back and forth between Word 97 and this browser page by using the TaskBar at the bottom of the screen or by using the [Alt+Tab] keystroke combination to choose from the active applications.]
2. You will be offered a selection of creation choices including:

• Draw Table
• Insert Table

Draw Table   will give you a "pencil" icon that you use to sketch out the Table on the page. This is cumbersome and touchy for users unfamiliar with the process and the expected product.
Insert Table   opens an interactive dialog that allows you to choose the number of columns and the number of rows.

Scroll down to the instructions for Using Insert Table.

1. The "public"/displayed page, that uses the Table structure for organization of the output -- but which does not display the border lines
   www.mccsc.edu/~czager/
2. A view of the page with BORDER=1 and with images disabled and replaced by the ALT=description that appears when the image is not displayed
   www.mccsc.edu/~czager/pages/borders.html
3. A view of the page with BORDER=1 and with images enabled
   www.mccsc.edu/~czager/borders.html

Notice that the page is a single table. It has 2 columns -- column 1 is approximately 2/3's the width of the table and column 2 is approximately 1/3 of the table width. It has 6 rows -- the depth of each row is determined by the size/amount of text or graphics in each row.

Using Table / Insert Table, insert a table into a blank Word 97 document that has 2 columns and 6 rows. Switch back and forth between Word 97 and this browser page by using the TaskBar at the bottom of the screen or by using the [Alt+Tab] keystroke combination to choose from the active applications.

As you type information in each box, the size of the box will expand in depth or height to accommodate the information.

Notice that there are still "empty" cells in column 2, rows 1, 3, and 5.

The Table command contains options to

• Merge Cells
• Split Cells

depending on whether a single cell or multiple cells is/are highlighted.

1. With your mouse, select both cells in row 1.
2. Select Table / Merge Cells.

Cells 1 and 2 in row 1 now span across columns 1 and 2. Repeat this for rows 2 and 3, column 2:

1. With your mouse, select both cells in column 2, rows 2 and 3
2. Select Table / Merge Cells.

Repeat for row 5, columns 1 and 2:

1. With your mouse, select both cells in row 5.
2. Select Table / Merge Cells.

You can now begin to format and position the text within each cell:

1. To emphasize (bold or italic) text, highlight "Personal" (or your words) and select the B-Bold icon or use Format / Font / Font Style / Bold (or I-Italic icon or use Format / Font / Font Style / Italic) from the MenuBar.
2. To adjust the alignment of text within a cell, without changing the highlight, select the Align-Right icon (or the Format / Paragraph / Indents and Spacing / Alignment and select Left, Right, Center, or Justified, as well).
3. Change the typeface from Courier to Comic Sans MS (or to a typeface of your choice) in the same manner.
4. To increase or decrease the font size, highlight "and Hillerman quote" (or text of your choice) in row 2, column 2, change the Font size to a smaller number (12 to 10 or 10 to 8, for example). This can be done from Format / Font / or from the Font Size icon on the ToolBar.
5. To change the color of text, highlight the text, select Format / Font / Font / Color. In the example below, "e-mail information" has been changed to "yellow."
6. To change the background color of a given cell, position your cursor in the cell. Click once to select the cell. Select Format / Borders and Shading -- and select the Shading tab. You will find specific colors in the "Fill" section. Select a color, the dialogue box will state the color in text, and the"Preview" panel will echo your choice. You may varying the "Patterns / Style" from "Clear" through "Solid -- 100%" down to 5%. Experiment with these. In the example below, the "e-mail" cell has been shaded "dark red."

To vary the width of each column, position your mouse on the divider line between columns 1 and 2 until the cursor turns into 2 side-by-side arrows. Select with the left button and drag the divider to the right.

To insert art, photos, or audio/visual files into the Table, position your cursor in the appropriate cell -- row 1-col 1 for the CARL ZAGER image, for example -- and select Insert / Picture / From file from the MenuBar. Locate the appropriate directory, folder, or floppy location and select the file to be inserted. Be sure to delete any "notes" or "comments" you made as you were designing the layout -- "CARL ZAGER image across columns 1 and 2", for example.

Repeat for each image or file you wish to insert into the Table.

In addition to the "Insert / Picture / From file" option from the MenuBar, you can also use Insert / Picture / AutoShapes ... or ... / WordArt. The above "Important Note:" applies to these as well. These effects are NOT illustrated in this tutorial.

To create "hyperlinks" from your page to other locations, highlight the word, words, or image that will be the "selection point." In the example above, highlight the word "Coyote" in column 2. Select Insert /Hyperli nk from the MenuBar. In the dialog box, type the URL for the remote page:
www.canismajor.com/dog/coyote.html

To "publish" the file as a World Wide Web website, the *.html text file, the *.gif, *.jpg image files, and the *.wav or other format AV files need to be transferred from your local computer to the Monon webserver computer. This is done with FTP, explained in the article, Mysteries of FTP.
