In addition to inserting regular tables, changing, and modifying tables by…merging and splitting cells, and inserting Excel spreadsheets, there is one…other type of table that you can insert, and that's a Quick Table.…Quick Tables, which you will find by choosing the dropdown on the Table command…on the Insert tab of the Ribbon and then choosing Quick Tables,…there is a gallery of built-in Quick Tables including just a mixture of…things that are tables.…Some of these are useful.…
Some of these are less useful than they could be.…I'm going to start with one that I actually think isn't very useful at all,…so that you can take a look at what you're getting here and what you're not getting.…You are getting a nice set of formats,…a well-structured table that was created based on Themes.…So if I changed the Theme in my document or if I change my Style Set, this table…will automatically be reformatted based on my choices. That's the plus.…The minus is that there's nothing here to ask me what month it is that I'm looking at.…

Q: The Panning Hand feature for scrolling through documents shown in the movie "Using the Word interface" does not appear in my version of Word.
A: This appears to be an issue with Word, in that the Panning Hand icon does not appear in every installation of Word. The Panning Hand feature was originally designed for a tablet PC and it will always appear on a tablet. However, onother laptops and desktops, the Panning Hand icon's appearance is dependent on the version of Windows and how much tablet PC functionality is built into that version.
Q: Why am I seeing the following error message when trying to open the exercise files in Word 2010? Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions: * check permissions * open the file with text recovery
A: This is a permissions/trust issue specific to your install of Microsoft Office. Contact your IT department make sure documents downloaded from email and the web are not blocked. A workaround solution is to try opening the files in an older version of Word or try to edit your Trust Center settings.
