Tables may be used as a page layout tool to position text in a document instead of using tabs or spaces. For example, the Tips below are formatted as a table.

For more information and tips about using tables in page layout, see Chapter 4 (Formatting Pages).

When inserting a table used for layout, you may wish to deselect the check boxes for Heading and Border.

To remove the borders from an existing table, right-click on the table, select Table from the pop-up menu, select the Borders tab, and select the icon for no borders.
