How to Create and Customize Tables in Google Docs

Introduction to Table Creation

• The video begins with an overview of creating tables in Google Docs, starting from the homepage.

• A blank document is created using the top left button, followed by inserting a table through the "Insert" menu.

• The user demonstrates how to specify the number of rows and columns for a simple 3x3 table.

Understanding Table Structure

• Explanation of table components: rows, columns, and cells; each cell is identified as a square within the table.

• The presenter assigns numbers (1 to 9) to each cell for easier identification during formatting.

Modifying Row Height and Column Width

• Instructions on adjusting row height by dragging the line that separates rows when the cursor changes shape.

• Demonstration of changing column width similarly by dragging between columns; specific adjustments are made to create varying widths.

Aligning Content Within Cells

• Discussion on vertical and horizontal alignment options available for content within cells.

• Steps provided for aligning text using right-click properties; examples include centering or aligning text at different positions within cells.

Applying Formatting Changes Across Cells

• The presenter shows how to align numbers differently in various cells (e.g., center, right).

• Emphasis on maintaining alignment even after resizing rows or columns; modifications can be applied selectively or across entire tables.

Utilizing Cell Formatting Tools

• Overview of selecting entire tables or individual cells for formatting changes via right-click properties.

• Introduction to formatting tools that appear upon selecting a cell, including background color, border color, width, and line style options.

Customizing Table Appearance

Understanding Cell Formatting in Spreadsheets

Differentiating Background Colors

• The distinction between the background color of a cell and the text color is emphasized. Users can select different colors for the cell's background and the text itself.

• A darker color can be applied to the cell's background, showcasing how to modify individual cell formats effectively.

Modifying Cell Borders

• Users can apply borders to specific sides of a cell by selecting which border they want to modify, allowing for customized formatting.

• The interface provides intuitive options for modifying all borders or selecting internal/external borders specifically.

Inserting Rows and Columns

• Right-clicking on a table allows users to insert rows above or below existing rows, inheriting the current row's format.

• Similar functionality exists for inserting columns either to the left or right of an existing column.

Distributing Row and Column Sizes

• Users can ensure uniformity in their spreadsheet by distributing row heights or column widths through right-click options.

• If both rows and columns are distributed, all cells will appear identical in size.

Combining Cells

• Multiple cells can be combined into one by selecting them and using the "merge cells" option, simplifying layout management.

• To revert merged cells back to their original state, users can use the "split cells" function.

Applying Border Styles Across Tables

• Selecting an entire table allows users to apply border styles uniformly across all lines with customizable colors and widths.

Applying Borders in Spreadsheet Cells

Steps to Apply Borders

• To apply a border, first select the specific cells where you want the border to be applied. This can be done by clicking on individual cells or selecting multiple cells at once.

• After selecting the desired cells, choose the type of border you wish to apply from the available options.

• Once you've decided on the border style, you will need to specify additional attributes such as color and thickness of the border line.

• The appearance of the line can also be modified; for instance, it can be changed to dashed lines instead of solid ones.
