I'd complete the data entry in Excel, then format the entire sheet by making all 3 columns to be the same width as the longest entry. Control A to select the entire sheet; Alt to go to the ribbon; down arrow to cells; right arrow into the submenu; down arrow and press enter on format; down arrow past column width, to auto fit column width, and press enter). Then copy and paste the 3 columns and all your rows that have data into a Word document. I don't think you need to merge columns, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do. Stephanie

Thanks I have done this in past but columns are long so I thought maybe I would need to merge several columns first in Excel. But thanks for this idea. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephanie Koetje" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 11:40 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Tables Word 2003 formatting report? Hi Ann Marie, What I'd do is start with Excel, put in your column headers, then copy and paste the 3 columns and number of rows you want into a Word document. There may be a better way, but that's how I create tables.

Hi all, I have 3 columns: title, name, phone I wish to format these columns in word so it looks nice. How do I use table function so that all columns align?
