Tables and Lists
Tables and lists can be included in a Writer document through either the menu bar or the tool bar. To insert a table from the menu bar, click INSERT, and scroll down to TABLE. A menu will appear allowing you to name the table and edit the number of rows and columns. You can also adjust other table settings, including heading, AutoFormat, border, etc., in the options section (figure 8).

Tables can also be added by clicking on the left icon in the tool bar. You can click on the button, and you will get the same pop-up menu as in figure 7, or you can click on the drop down arrow next to the button, and you will have the option to drag your mouse to choose the number of rows and columns:
To insert a list, you can either use a format of bullets, numbers or a customized outline version. Go to FORMAT, BULLETS & NUMBERING, and a pop-up menu will allow you to customize or choose the format for your bullets or numbers (figure 9).
