Parts of a TableColumns: named with letters Rows: named with numbers. Cells: named in the form
ColumnRow. Thus, cell B2 is in column B
and row 2. Grid lines: the lines that divide the space into cells. Even lines that don't print will show in Word as light gray. But, of course, you might choose to have gray lines in print, too. Look at the Print Preview to be sure if the lines will print the way you want.
Table MenuThe menu has commands for formatting and managing your table. From the menu you make changes in your table, adding and removing parts, merging cells, formatting, and sorting.
FormulasMany tables include numbers that are calculated based on the values in other cells in the table. The simplest case is where one cell contains the total of the numbers in the column above it. You can make your table do these calculations for you. Spreadsheets can handle calculations better than Word tables.

where the contents of a cell stops and also where a table row stops. This
symbol is one of the characters in a normal font, but it is not on
the keyboard. The symbol uses the same font and font size as the cell
text. Some fonts and font sizes give the symbol quite a different look
! Sometimes you will want to select the symbol along with the text, just like
you sometimes want to include the paragraph symbol in a selection. And sometimes
not! 
Starting with Word 2000, there
are
two handles for a table -

The Word 97 Table menu
is not quite as easy to use as Word 2000's. There are no cascading menus.
The commands are context-sensitive, so they change
depending on what you have selected in the
table. 
In Word 97, to see commands for
columns you must first
select a column. To insert a cell, you must
select two cells.

In the Number format box of the Formula dialog, you can choose how you want your numbers to look: as a percentage, as currency, how many digits to the right of the decimal... 
Normally what
you see in
a cell that has a formula in it is the calculated value. A gray background
