Quick Tables

With Word 2010, you can create Quick Tables—preformatted tables with sample

data that you can customize. To create a Quick Table:

1. On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click the Table button, and then point
   to Quick Tables.
   The Quick Tables gallery appears.

The predefined Quick Tables meet several common needs.

2. Scroll through the gallery, noticing the types of tables that are available, and
   then click the one you want.
   For example, this is the Matrix Quick Table.

The Matrix Quick Table includes row and column headings, placeholder data, and no

summary data, such as totals.
