Google Docs Fundamentals Tables You can also go to the menu and click on Table. The option to delete the column is available here too. The columns are automatically resized to fill in the space of the missing column. There were six Apollo landings and we only have three rows. Let’s add rows. Click once on the first cell of the last row. Either right click to get the contextual menu or click on table in the menu. Select the option to insert row below. Repeat this step two more times. We have a nice table but it’s a little plain. Let’s add some color. Select the first column by clicking on the first cell then dragging to the right to highlight all three cells. Right click for the contextual menu or go to the menu and click on table. Select table properties from the menu options. In my example the table has run off the page and onto the next page. That’s okay we’ll learn how to adjust this later. The table properties module will open. Click on the cell background color option. A palette of colors will display. Let’s select a color. 27 Digital Maestro
Google Docs Fundamentals Tables Once you’ve selected the color, click the Ok button. Highlight the cells again and let’s make the text bold. Click on the bold style button in the menu. When selecting colors for your table cells make sure the text is legible. I say this because my students like to pick very dark colors where mere 51 year old mortals like myself can no longer see the text! To force the table onto the next page, click on an empty line before the table. In the menu click on insert and select page break. The table is forced onto the following page. We still have a problem where the table runs from one page to another. You should avoid this when possible. There are several ways to fix this issue. We can edit our text so there is room for the table. In most situations this may not be a good option, because it requires a great deal of editing. Another way is to force the table to go onto the next page. This leaves us with a large blank space at the bottom of the page. It’s better than breaking up the table across pages. There is one more way to fix this table problem. We will touch on that in the next lesson. Digital Maestro 28
