    We’ll learn Word’s fancy drawing features for tables; how to position tables & textboxes and their contents exactly where you want them and prevent Word from adjusting column widths without your consent; how to use header rows, borders, and formulae; and many other table-related issues.

    Automate Work in Word with Macros
    n this tutorial, I’ll show you how to eliminate 15 or so common automations by using macros. Some of these automation work are specific ones that you may share.
