1. Tables can be created using the Table Tools. Click on the Table Tool icon to begin.

3. Put your cursor inside a cell, and right click. Select “Cell” then “Table Cell Properties” in the General tab. Here you can set the properties of the cell, including width. It is not recommended to set the cell height – allow the text size to do that for you as the cell will auto-adjust. Click Update to save changes.

Click Insert to insert the table.

4. In the Advanced tab, you can again select language direction. Unless you want to set parameters for all cells individually, select “Update all cells in table”. Click Update to Save your changes.
