Tables<br />

Once you’ve selected the color, click the Ok button.<br />

Highlight the cells again and let’s make the text bold.<br />

Click on the bold style button in the menu.<br />

When selecting colors for your table cells make sure the<br />

text is legible. I say this because my students like to pick<br />

very dark colors where mere 51 year old mortals like<br />

myself can no longer see the text!<br />

To force the table onto the next page, click on an empty<br />

line before the table. In the menu click on insert and<br />

select page break. The table is forced onto the following<br />

page.<br />

We still have a problem where the table runs from one<br />

page to another. You should avoid this when possible.<br />

There are several ways to fix this issue. We can edit our<br />

text so there is room for the table. In most situations<br />

this may not be a good option, because it requires a<br />

great deal of editing. Another way is to force the table<br />

to go onto the next page. This leaves us with a large<br />

blank space at the bottom of the page. It’s better than<br />

breaking up the table across pages.<br />

There is one more way to fix this table problem. We will<br />

touch on that in the next lesson.<br />
