Go to Edit, Replace and change O into Observed and then E into Expected. Make

sure you click on More and check that the „Find Whole Words Only‟ box is checked.

Note that if you had not selected the table, Word would have changed everything in

the document.

As you can see, the columns are no longer wide enough. Select the table and go to

Table, Cell Height and Width and change it to something suitable. Try at least one

inch.

Now try formatting the table. Just as with Excel, you must select the line you want

and then add the bordering. The slow way to do that is to go to Format, Borders and

Shading each time. The fast way to do it is to use the borders icon in toolbar at the

top of your screen.

Now select the top row. Point to the left of the word „OBSERVED‟, so that the

insertion point turns into an arrow. Click, and the row is selected. Put a ¾ point line

on the bottom of the row, and change the line width option to a 2¼ point line for the

top of the row.

(By the way, to put in special characters like ½ or  go to Insert, Symbol and then

choose what you want. While we‟re on the subject, to put an equation into Word, go

to, Insert, Object „Microsoft Equation 3.0‟. Play with it, if you want).

Returning to the table. On the bottom row, put in a 2¼ point line. To insert a column

select the OBSERVED column by pointing above the word OBSERVED until it

changes to a black arrow, then click. Now using the right mouse button, insert a

column. Enter in the information, as given on the spreadsheet.

It is also possible to vertically centre text, such as the table, by going to File, Page

Setup, Layout and changing vertical alignment to centre. You might need to go to

File, Print Preview or Page Layout view in order to see the full effects.

If the table sticks out over the edge of the page. Select the table and autofit it from

Table, Cell Height and Width, Column. As you can see, the titles are now too big.

You can get round that by shrinking the font size or abbreviating the titles. Improvise.

Graphics and Arrows

Well, actually just arrows. If you need to do a few graphic bits in Word, such as

arrows and boxes, your best bet is do use the Drawing facility. Turn the Drawing

toolbar on in a similar way to turning on the Borders toolbar.

Type the return key a few times under the table. This now allows us to enter freeform

text using the Drawing facility. Click on text box, towards the left of the toolbar. Now

drag an area under the table and type the text into the box. The size and font of the

text in the box is formatted in the normal way. Make it 14 point. Double click on the

edge of the text box and increase the box to one point and the edge to dashed. Choose

fill colour and choose light gray.
