CBSE Class 6 Computer Science MS Word Tables Worksheet Set 01

Answer: Tables arrange information in rows and columns so that it is neat and easy to read and compare. They are used for time tables, marks lists, price lists and similar data.

Teacher's Note:
1. A table gives data a clear structure.
2. It is easier to read than a long paragraph.

Answer: 1. Click the Insert tab, choose Table and drag over the grid to pick rows and columns.
2. Choose Insert Table and type the number of rows and columns.
3. Choose Draw Table and draw the table with the pencil.
4. Choose Quick Tables to use a ready-made design.

Teacher's Note:
1. Any method gives the same kind of table.
2. The grid method is the quickest for small tables.

Answer: A table has rows (horizontal lines of cells), columns (vertical lines of cells) and cells (boxes where a row and a column meet). It also has borders around the cells and a move handle at the top left corner.

Teacher's Note:
1. A cell is the smallest part of a table.
2. Rows run across and columns run down.

Answer: To move a table, drag the move handle at its top left corner to a new place. To resize it, point to the small square at the bottom right corner and drag it until the table has the size you want.

Teacher's Note:
1. The handles appear when the pointer is on the table.
2. Dragging keeps the table in one piece.

Answer: Move the pointer just above the column until it becomes a small black down arrow and click. You can also click in the column and use the Select option on the Layout tab, then choose Select Column.

Teacher's Note:
1. The down arrow is the signal that a column can be selected.
2. Dragging down over the cells also selects them.

Answer: Borders draw lines around cells to separate the data, and shading fills cells with colour. Together they make a table clearer and more attractive, and they highlight headings or important cells.

Teacher's Note:
1. Borders divide while shading highlights.
2. Too many colours can make a table hard to read.

Answer: tabular. Data is shown in rows and columns.

Teacher's Note:
1. Tabular means arranged as a table.
2. It makes comparison simple.

Answer: click; cell. The text then appears inside that cell.

Teacher's Note:
1. Each cell holds its own text.
2. The Tab key moves to the next cell.

Answer: move handle. It looks like a small box with four arrows.

Teacher's Note:
1. The handle shows only when the table is active.
2. Dragging it moves the whole table.

Answer: down arrow. One click then selects the whole column.

Teacher's Note:
1. The arrow is small and black.
2. Clicking selects every cell in that column.

Answer: attractive; colours. Careful choice of border styles and colours improves the look.

Teacher's Note:
1. Design should help reading.
2. Use light shades for large areas.

Answer: False. You can add or delete rows and columns, change text and format a table at any time.

Teacher's Note:
1. Tables remain fully editable.
2. Use the Layout tab for changes.

Answer: True. Clicking it opens the grid for inserting a table.

Teacher's Note:
1. The Insert tab holds items to add to a page.
2. Tables, pictures and shapes are all there.

Answer: True. The Eraser tool removes borders and merges cells where lines are dragged over.

Teacher's Note:
1. The Eraser works on table lines.
2. It is found on the Layout tab.

Answer: False. The Tab key moves the cursor to the next cell on the right.

Teacher's Note:
1. Shift is used for capital letters and selecting.
2. Shift + Tab moves back to the previous cell.

Answer: False. Drag over several rows or hold Shift while clicking to select many rows.

Teacher's Note:
1. Many rows can be selected together.
2. This helps when changing row height or formatting.

Answer: False. Word can sort in both ascending and descending order.

Teacher's Note:
1. Ascending runs A to Z or small to large.
2. Descending is the opposite.
