WPS Text Tutorial: Table Tools Easy Drawing Schedule

Inserting a table in a document or using a text tool to make a table is a problem we often encounter in our work. If the format of the table is slightly more complex, in order to adjust the format of the table, we will have to switch in each menu and dialog box, so that the workload greatly increased. But in the WPS Office 2012 Text Tool, with the new WIN7-style interface, we don't need to be so "around", just a "table tool", drawing the timetable shown in Figure 1 is also quite easy.

Figure 1

One, Slash head

Click on the small triangle below the Table Feature Group table button in the Ribbon Insert tab and use the box selection method in the pop-up list to draw a 8 row 8 column table. Position the mouse over any cell in the table, and you can see a new Table Tools tab appear above the Ribbon.

Click on the "Table Tools" tab, you can see the most common forms of the operation of the required buttons are basically here, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

To draw a slash header, just select the two cells to the left of the first row of the table, and click the Draw Slash header button in the Draw Borders feature group to pop up the slash cell Type dialog box. Select the type you want, and make sure, as shown in Figure 3.

Merge cells and adjust alignment

With the help of the table tools, both tasks can be completed in one key.

Click the outside button on the top left corner of the table, select the entire table, and click the alignment you want in the Alignment feature group. Select the range of cells you want to merge, and then click the Merge Cells button in the Merge feature group to complete the cell. Is that easy? As shown in Figure 4.

Three, draw two thin lines

In the sample table to distinguish between morning and afternoon, double lines are added to the table.

Click the line style Drop-down list of the draw Borders feature group to select the thin double line type. Then click the "Weight" drop-down list in the feature group to specify the thickness for the line style. Then click the Draw Table button and you can see that the mouse pointer changes to a pencil shape. Use it to redraw the past with the corresponding lines, and the lines you need are drawn, as shown in Figure 5.

Can see the WPS Office 2012 WIN7 Style interface, in the table operation integrates the commonly used Operation button, greatly facilitates us to the table drawing, the format adjustment and so on.
