===== Rulers =====
The horizontal and vertical rulers in Word are often used to align text, graphics, tables, and other elements in a document.

To view the horizontal ruler across the top of your Word document and the vertical ruler along the left edge of your document, you must be in Print Layout view (selected from the View tab, in the Document Views group).

===== Tabs =====
A **tab stop** is the horizontal location that text will be located when you precede it with a TAB. Microsoft Office Word 2007 sets up default tab stops for you automatically at regular intervals. Text placed at a default tab stop will be left aligned to the stop. Default tab stop locations are marked in the ruler as short vertical bars on the bottom of the ruler.

Word allows you to manually set tab stops at any position you want as well. You can set tabs either for a selected paragraph, a group of paragraphs, or for the whole document. It is also possible to set tabs in such a way that any text placed at that tab stop will be left aligned to the stop, right aligned to the stop, or centered around the stop. Manual tab stops take on different appearances in the ruler depending on whether they configured as left, right, or center stops.

===== Tables =====
Tables are often required to show various kinds of data. In Microsoft Office Word 2007, you can insert a table by choosing from a selection of preformatted tables--complete with sample data--or by selecting the number of rows and columns that you want. You can insert a table into a document, or you can insert one table into another table to create a more complex table.

==== Inserting tables using Table Templates ====
You can use table templates to insert a table that is based on a gallery of preformatted tables. Table templates contain sample data to help you visualize what the table will look like when you add your data.

  - Click where you want to insert a table. 
  - On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table, point to Quick Tables, and then click the template that you want. 
  - Replace the data in the template with the data that you want.

==== Inserting tables using the Table menu ====

  - On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table, and then click Insert Table. 
  - Under Table size, enter the number of columns and rows.

==== Drawing tables ====
You can draw a complex table — for example, one that contains cells of different heights or a varying number of columns per row.

  - Click where you want to create the table. 
  - On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table, and then click Draw Table. The pointer changes to a pencil.
  - To define the outer table boundaries, draw a rectangle. Then draw the column lines and row lines inside the rectangle. 
  - To erase a line or block of lines, under Table Tools, on the Design tab, in the Draw Borders group, click Eraser. 
  - Click the line that you want to erase. 
  - When you finish drawing the table, click in a cell and start typing or insert a graphic.

==== Converting text to tables ====
  - Insert separator characters--such as commas or tabs--to indicate where you want to divide the text into columns. Use paragraph marks to indicate where you want to begin a new row.
  - Select the text that you want to convert.
  - On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table, and then click Convert Text to Table.
  - In the Convert Text to Table dialog box, under Separate text at, click the option for the separator character that is in your text.
  - In the Number of columns box, check the number of columns. If you don't see the number of columns that you expect, you may be missing a separator character in one or more lines of text.
  - Select any other options that you want.
