Technical Communication – Creating tables in Microsoft Word

Refer to Ch. 9 and 10 of Technical Communication for this assignment.

Write instructions for a 1- to 2-page handout that explains how to create a table in Microsoft®Word (whatever version you have) and how to add and delete columns and rows from an existing table.

Note: You may choose a task different from the table, but it still needs to be a technical one.

Include the following in your instructional handout:

  • Summary of the program and version of the program you are using
  • Design that reveals to the reader how your information is organized
  • Effective use of blank space
  • Organized and consistent design of active space
  • Illustrations taken from screenshots or a snipping tool that are appropriately cited
  • Titled and numbered illustrations that are referred to in the instructions

Note: Check the Microsoft® website for the wording that must accompany the use of its software images.

Continue to develop the characteristics of good writing, and proofread your document for common errors.
