    A table can be filled with text and graphics. Tables are often used to organize and present information.

    To create a table, click on TABLE, select INSERT and then select TABLE. This opens a dialog box where you can specify the number of rows and columns required for the table.
    You can vary the width and length of the columns and rows by dragging the table from its corners.

    Use

    Lists are primarily of two types: bulleted and numbered. You can add bullets (a dot or other symbol that is placed before text) or numbers to existing lines of text to create a list.

    How to
    To create a list, first type the items of the list one below the other, hitting ENTER (RETURN) key on the keyboard after every item of the list. Select the items of the list using your mouse and click on FORMAT. Select BULLETS AND NUMBERING. This opens a dialog box where you can select a particular style of list (Numbered, Bulleted etc.). After selecting the style, click the OK button.
