Tables can contain text, math, plots, graphics, and embedded components. Use tables to:
| • |

|
| • |
Align text and graphics
|
| • |
Control the layout of embedded components
|
To insert a table: Insert>Table

To format a table: Table>Properties
This dialog box allows you to adjust table properties. Options include:
| • |
Table Size Mode: There are two options:
|
Fixed percentage of page width
The width of the table is adjusted whenever the width of the worksheet changes. This option is useful for ensuring that the entire content of the table always fits onto the screen or printed page.
|
Scale with zoom factor
Preserves table appearance regardless of the size of the worksheet window or the zoom factor by using horizontal scroll when needed. Ensures line breaks occur in fixed locations, allowing you to control the breaks in long expressions. With this option, the table could be truncated when printing if it is too wide.

|
|
| • |
Set visibility of borders: As an example, in the previous bullet item a table is used to create two columns with the borders set to None.
|
| • |
Add table captions: Use to add a table numbering or titles. Then, elsewhere in the document, you can easily refer to a table using a table cross-reference.
|
| • |
Set order of cell execution: Control the order in which math in the table is executed.
|
Note: To avoid confusion, ensure execution order is visibly obvious to reader.
